Jeremy/Charles: Thanks for the explanation about plain text. Is rich text the use of bold, non-default fonts, different sizes, etc? That would make sense: "rich". Is this why I have on occasion have a message bounced back as undeliverable as a MIME attachment? This happened to me today when I emailed myself a message from my work account. I was researching links I want to include in a page and copied them into an email and sent it to my home RoadRunner account. Urls don't count as rich text, do they? They often appear in our list's messages. Donald On Friday, October 11, 2002, at 06:07 PM, Jeremy Derr wrote:
