I've been following this thread, and asked Someone at IBM Who Shall Remain Nameless, who replied: The MTA doesn't care about MIME, per se, but it may not be coded defensively in the event those posited too-long-lines are causing a problem. There's nothing in the IP User's guide about using IEBGENER to copy things over to SMTP. It would seem that TRANSMIT is the preferred way. So, while I always hate to answer a problem with "you shouldn't be trying to do that", I have to ask: why are you using IEBGENER? -- ...phsiii Phil Smith III [email protected] Voltage Security, Inc. www.voltage.com (703) 476-4511 (home office) (703) 568-6662 (cell) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
