Some modern MUAs can be configured to ignore this restriction since it's so rarely relevant now, but very few users know about those (non-compliant) features. So it's really not your fault. Davis PS - I hear that Google is actively flouting the RFC with their GMail service by explicitly asking the user if they meant to attach files when they request to send a compliant message. Fortunately it's still an experimental ("Labs") feature, and the IETF has been notified. PPS - If replying to this message, be sure to use the > quotation style if you desire to attach any files; the body of this message (and this very postpostscript) include the words called out in the RFC. -- This product is sold by volume, not by mass.
