Broken mail client then, surely. In my experience, Alpine -- and Pine before it -- has been pretty robust in how it handles all kinds of mail. The only mail it tends to choke on is spam, and who cares? It's spam. Alpine is even mostly pretty good at handling oddball (to me) character sets: Russian, Hebrew, Greek, various Asian character sets, etc. I'm not sure how much of that is due to Alpine, and how much of it is due to Terminal on MacOSX 10.5/Leopard getting better, and I don't care. It just works and I don't have to think about it. -- Chris Devers DO NOT LEAVE IT IS NOT REAL
