How would your parser deal with the message I posted a while ago in response to Nick, where I quoted the entire message, including delimiter and header? The real problem isn't the parser, anyway, but the lack of a clearly defined standard. As a result, over the years many programs made different assumptions which resulted in the current mess. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
