[Shahrukh Merchant kindly posted a sample MIME digest.] OK, the problem is not the VM SMTP bug :-) I think what you are seeing is *not* a recent change, but simply an e- mail client(s) bug. I'll suggest that you only see the problem on digests that contain MIME posts. Many e-mail clients have trouble with MIME digests with a post containing a particular or, in some cases, any kind of MIME headers. There are work-arounds such as (1) have the affected user use a different kind of digest or (2) ban MIME postings. I encourage my frequent posters to not send MIME headers. Readers tend not to jump at the idea of changing their e-mail client. That's my story and I'm sticking to it (this time) ... unless it's wrong :-) cheers, Wayne T.
