I'll try that, then. That works. Here's my test case: --=-=-= Content-Type: text/html Content-Disposition: inline 
Little text

This is a text.

More text
--=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain The problem is, though, that this doesn't really solve anything. Whether you put a `display' property on the text, or you pad it with spaces, the result is much the same: If you kill'n'yank the text to a different buffer, and want to use it there, you still have to deal with the pesky extra padding. With the `display' hack it's even worse, because there's not obvious way to get rid of the padding. So I think this approach isn't quite workable. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen --=-=-=--
