Oh, so someone actually reads them?  Just before Christmas I was working
with a bloke in the UK, and I added the weather info to annoy him :-)

Well, Outlook sets Content-Type to text/plain which means render it
exactly as sent.  So it expects it to be displayed as a 740 character
line, which is unreadable on *any* monitor.  If it wants to send long
lines that wrap at the window margins, then it should use text/flowed
instead.

If you want to send me your sendmail config I'll have a look to see if
I can spot the error.  In particular, what did you do to make it relay
for inracing.com.au?  Did you simply add it to the access db?  Do you
have a mailertable entry for the domain?
