As I've said in my initial post, I will use whatever MUA I want, and I will send email in whatever standard I deem to be acceptable. It would -seem- to me, that the problem is YOUR choice of MUA that cannot decode / display said email correctly, and not mine that is not encoding it correctly. If you want to use old / outdated technologies, that is your choice. I know of many, many freelancers having even better hardware than I. If you choose to be stuck in the old age, then so be it. The majority, can't be technologically held back to cater for the minority. If you depend on said tech to generate income to pay rent and put food on the table (like all of us btw, not just you), common sense would dictate that you'd want to continuously improve on said tech to be able to use the latest and greatest technologies to woo said clients and get the business in order to get the $$$ you need to pay the rent / put food on said table. No my friend, it is your CHOICE to be stuck in the stone age... In fact, the entire tone of your message basically reads "I use old tech, and therefore it MUST be supported".... -- Regards, Chris Knipe
