That is positive proof that extmail.bigpond.com is one very broken mail server. A mail server shouldn't be complaining about the internal format of message data. While it is traditionally the case that mail messages are composed of relatively short lines of text, there is NO standard that defines and RFC2821 specifically says a mail server SHOULD NOT impose a format on mail messages. As to fixing this, the solution would be to make sure your messages don't have long lines. This may be tricky, since that broken mail server may be using a different definition of what constitutes a line than you do. It could be looking for carriage returns, linefeeds, or CRLF pairs. Your only certain answer to that would come from the idiot who wrote the useless thing. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
