From your example, that its what used to happen. On another list, those of us using mozilla and evolution as MUA couldn't read those multipart messages from outlook users, because the multipart-alternative wasn't properly configured on the sending side, and our readers were displaying a blank alternative with the list footer the only thing showing. The only way to read those messages was to "reply" to them and then read the message in the quoted text. So maybe Apple Mail doesn't follow the multipart-alternative standards properly, either. -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.
