In order to mail a file that both mutt/elm/mail and a GUI/HTML reader can grok, you *do* see to ^Content-type: headers. The first for the plaintext reader, the second for the HTML reader. Among the mail header must be a long string such as: Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=-A1X2" and following the line count (^Lines: 35) is this test --=-A1X2 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit test evolution is smart enough to center where I indicated the center icon. Immediately below this is the boundary "END" string. Followed by the std HTML that I've been hand coding since '93. Followed by the boundary EOF (of sorts). --=-A1X2 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 test

test
--=-A1X2-- If there is an easier way to do this with my N hundred blurbs, could somebody clue me in? This will only take a script of some kind and is probably too specialized to turn into a port, but I'll share this with anybody who wants it. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
