no, i'm actually not. raise your assumed cluelevel, thanks. i have no problem with mime. but it doesn't matter what my (non-)issues are; it's what newbie users expect. and multipart documents confuse them. most of these people use windows and they tend to think attachment == virus. > any ezmlm-served list?
