Yes. And it worked fine. Was sent to a group of roughly 250 people, and
nobody "reported" any problems.

When I have the time, I'll have to start playing with this again ... And
add that closing MIME BOUNDARY you suggested. I just haven't wanted to
touch anything, however band-aided, that has been working for so long.
;)

Thanks for the tips.
