The point, Tim, is that you keep conflating a bad MIME read that you happen to use with the notion that MIME is bad.
No two mimes seem to entirely agree what mime format is.
I use Sun's stuff. It is a pile of stinking shit.
Sure, mime would be great if everyone had a great Mime and every diverse system with every diverse mime interpreter all worked and they all worked in the same way.
There is only ONE MIME - it's in the rfc (I've forgotten the number). If it's the same as the rfc - it's MIME. if it ain't then it aint MIME. The sun stuff is a good example of how bad it can get. But it's not MIME. not mailtool anyway. It is a stinking pile of [insert expletive here]. But it's not MIME. -Jon -- j.fletcher@stirling.ac.uk "opinions are my own. not necessarily those of anyone or aything else"
