Read last 100 lines of message if a line begins with -- then if no MIME v1.0 header present then delete last 100 lines else if -- is part of part-boundary then ignore else delete last 100 lines Does anyone have any gross problems with this methodology? Yes. I believe that your pseudocode is buggy. First, I believe that you should match the regular expression "^--[ \t]*$" rather than just ``line begins with --''. Secondly, you should have ``delete everything from the matching line to the end'' in place of ``delete last 100 lines''. For this message, your algorithm would delete the entire message. -- Rick Busdiecker <rfb@lehman.com> Please do not send electronic junk mail!
