Mark, Thanks for the answer, but I'm having problems with *NON-Digest* users. I don't know if anything will change if those with NON-DIGEST issues convert to text only Digests.
As far as your reply about Digests and MIME, yes - I see issues when I read digests on my iphone. The message comes in fine when reading via Thunderbird, HORDE, SquirrelMail or RoundCube. At least that I can confirm it is a browser problem.
