Yeah: don't bother. Most legitimate email programs will send both a text part and an HTML part, and Emailer will show you the text part. From *my* experience, it's so rare to get an email with just HTML (not counting newsletters) that it's really not worth all this trouble. -- Adam Bailey | Chicago, Illinois [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Finger/Web for PGP & S/MIME [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lull.org/adam/ ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
