Since ABC is widely used to send tunes via email, ABC ends  up  being

haphazard, and it will be  common  for  your  software  to  encounter
partly-decoded email messages that contain partly-decoded tunes.

The sensible thing might be to just throw up your hands and refuse to
deal  with  it.   But you have a lot of companies working on a lot of
email software doing their best to make life difficult for you.



Ran into this nonsense mailing a gal a php proggie I had written for her to convert medline source references into CSV txt file...

She (unfortunately everyone on campus who doesn't know any better) is using exchange. Finally had to send her a zip.

and so on and so forth.
