You would send a message by recursively encapsulating your message to be remailed inside a MIME message. Simple and clean... Personally, I vastly prefer that things that can be handled with header lines be handled that way. MIME may be general and handle messages with mixed data, but the Big-Ugly-Block style that everything seems to be moving to is, well, overly big and overly ugly. When the data in a message is of a single type, adding all of this ugly MIME bulk is neither simple nor clean. It's artificial complexity and needless blecherousness. Recursive encapsulation needn't affect how any particular level looks. Rick
