We've done some experimenting with HTML digests (which also use
MIME). What I see with Outlook 2000 and an Exchange 5.5 server
is the raw HTML source for the index and the messages as
attachments.
The showing of the raw HTML source seems to be an Exchange server
problem. It also occurs when I use an IMAP client with the
Exchange server. The same clients used against a UW IMAP server
don't have the problem.
How well the IMAP clients otherwise work with the HTML digests
varies. Many don't work with the CID URLs. I tried Netscape
Messenger, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Execmail. Netscape
Messager worked the best.
