Be more realistic Sam. Despite M$ has already corrected the bug in OE6.0, there are too many Italian OE5.5 around. We cannot force hundreds of unknown people with low IT knowledge to change its client: the customer will simply complain, complain, and complain again with our (small) helpdesk, and then change ISP. And this mean MONEY LOSS and TIME LOSS and UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER. The matter is simple in my point of view: Courier must accept malformed MIME messages or I'll change MTA.

But RFC1958, paragraph 3.9, requires that Courier accepts it ! Giovanni ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
