Closer. Still, no cigar. I typed "text/html" wheen it asked for "Content-type". That gave me the bold "test" from /tmp/test: test test (Actually, in evoluton it was "test *test*".) What I want is for non-GUI mailers like mutt and Mail to seee ^test and in the graphic/html mailers: *test* where the astarisks indicate a bold font. I triied "multipart/mixed" annd other things "multipart/<>", but it doesn't quite work... . I have seen the raw message source from the multipart mail that many people sentf me. I simply don't know how to recreate this. --Things like: Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="NextPart_Webmail_9m3uFooBarBaz Maybe metasend is smart enough to accept "multipart/alternatve"; boundary="xyz" Otherwise, I'm stumped. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
