Whilst I generally agree. I would definately preffered the MIME encoded version, which follows specs properly and any reasonable email client should read . I mean any spec compliant mailer should just show you the version most appropriate. (Of course, the bandwidth and others are of a concern and rather pointless and all. But hell at least it is following the spec and is readable.) Benno -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
