For the multipart/mixed, Netscape drew lines between each part, and even centered the image/jpeg part. For the multipart/alternative, it didn't even indicate that it was such a message, it just displayed the image/jpeg part (centered). Trés weird, in my opinion, to go so overboard on the multipart/mixed and so minimal on the multipart/alternative. Hm. Could you edit the "MIME Test One" message to have a "Content-Disposition: inline" header in the image/jpeg part to see if that makes any difference? Eudora didn't attempt to display the multipart/mixed image part, but just drew an icon and said "MimeAttachment" (sic). Could you try with that Content-Disposition thing with Eudora as well? It didn't understand multipart/alternative at all. PC-Pine listed a "menu" after the headers, which was an OK way for a text-based reader to do it. The menu said what all the parts were, and whether they were shown or not. So, does anyone here have access to some Microsoft mail reader? It might be fun to see what it does. And what does VM do? And surely there must be some MIME-aware unixoid mail/newsreader out there... knews? xrn? trn? slrn? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
