If you're trolling for a high spam score and greater annoyance factor. If however you're asking 2000 others for free help, it's not a good idea. While certain things should perhaps work, the fact remains they don't universally. Actually Outlook Express, which is what I'm using, does seem to handle multi-part messages, but is more annoying in how it handles the plain text part and replies to it. Even though I have all the HTML and other such silliness turned off, I think when I reply to such a message it goes out in multi-part too. I forget exactly, but there is more hassle associated with replying to such a message than simple plain text messages wrapped to more than 80 characters. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.

Good point, Olin. I've been using this client for a couple of years now with no complaints. But I don't normally spend a lot of time on lists, so perhaps the exposure to the same group of people hasn't been happening. I'll look into it. I have Outlook Express on my machine, so I can check it out. Thanks. Original Message: > Multiple spam filter nonsense in subject line removed.

That should have been "wrapped to no more than 80 characters". ^^ ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
