>From what I can tell, the styled text creates an html part that causes an extra boundary to appear at the end of that part: --=====================_8552687==_.ALT-- At least if I delete this boundary, the message is properly displayed. But whatever the reason, my question still is, why is Netscape able to display it if it's running on different IMAP software? I.e., what is cyrus doing that prevents Netscape from seeing it? And since, as you say, it's a frequently seen problem, would it be possible to fix the code to deal with the situation, without much work, rather than wait for a possible fix from Eudora?
