That could well be the case, though i am using pmail v301, i think it's stil quite buggy, and it's set with ISO-8859-1 as it's mime character set. But i thought that the parts that had mime content in messages were supposed to be sectioned of with borders labeling the mime etc. > > > I hate all this fancy mail rubbish, mime and html e-mail and all that > > stuff should be left to www were it belongs. > > Correct, HTML belongs on the web and not in email, but MIME is specifically > an email protocol so it doesn't make sense to "leave it to the www". Thats true, but i wasn't really meaning that, i just think that when it adds in all the mime seperation and stuff like that, it takes up twice as much space as the plain vanilla version. > Thís ·sïg ìs jûst tø ãññõÿ ¶êøþ£è wh¤ ðºñ´t µ$ë ϧØ88591.
