"Attachment" behavior means not displaying the part at all, according to RFC2183. The user should be notified that the part exists, but it should not be automatically displayed. Not that I think we should look too much at what other MIME readers do, but this might be nice to know how others do it. So here's today's assignment: 1) Find a MIME mail/newsreader, and 2) See how it displays the next two messages I'm going to send. These are called "MIME Test One" and "MIME Test Two". 3) Do screenshots. 4) Post URLs to these screenshots. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
