I do not know. You might read rfc2045 and friends, or use some program/library that does this, or (probably simplest) send mail to yourself from a decent client (e.g. TB or gmail) and look at its "source" to see how it's constructed. Basically, you should use one of the available encodings supported by these RFCs and state which one(s) you chose - just like what you tried to do, only being more accurate. -- Didi ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
