[snip the rest for length, great tho it was] I think you actually did better on explaining that part of MIME this time than I would have, particularly since I was contemplating a "short form" (for me) version this time, covering only the content in question. But you covered it so well there's no much left to say. =8^) See guys, I'm not the only one that can write such nice detailed explanations! -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
