Here at the University of Aberdeen, there's basically two mailers in
use: The Win9x/WinNT fanatics use Simeon, and everybody else uses
Pine.

I have to admit that I hadn't come across suchlike messages before,
yours being the first I've ever seen where the message itself wasn't
the first part (other than those with a HTML first part only).

I seem to remember that we ended up doing something along the lines of
the following pseudocode...

 Q> if we've not rx'd anything for 2 seconds
 Q>     acknowledge a missed interrupt
 Q>     treat this as having rx'd something
 Q> endif

Best wishes from Riley.
