At work, we've pretty much standardized on using Netscape 4 to send "rich text" (or HTML) messages to each other. Recent mail reader programs will understand the MIME encoding type "Alternate" to show either a "rich text" (or HTML) version of a message or a plain text version. Your mail reader program must not understand the MIME encoding type "Alternate" and showed the actual bytes of the message ... if you look down past the HTML encoding, you should see a plain text version of my message. Not that it was that important, anyway. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
