I've been thinking more about this... dangerous, I know. I'm not sure we know what "handle just fine" means for the rest of the world. Some of the reports I've seen that are similar to mine suggest that their mail system handles it by truncating the line thus rendering the attachment garbage (if it's an attachment). I don't know what those others are running, but I'm pretty confident it's not nmh. Is truncating the line the appropriate thing to do? What should nmh do? In another thread we're discussing a patch that will make inc handle the long lines, but what should inc do with the long lines? Should it actually make those long lines conform by folding them? Thanks, Andy
