(Not that I've had many opportunities to use MIME for anything 'real' yet...) I wondered: Though SET <listname> FULLHDR does allow MIME mail to get through, would it work for readers with 'Digests' set? Though it's probably obvious to others, I wanted to try it first. Here's a peek (with only the first message included of the 3 referenced) that makes me think that readers who want to receive MIME postings (without editing header lines) will not want to use 'Digests': X> There are 3 messages totalling 44 lines in this issue.
