Bon Matin Stan, Thanks for the clarification, if I got it straight MIME to non-MIME gets the same results as an undefined MIME type in the receiving mailer. I knoe that LISTSERV does not encapsulate, but I wondered if mail agents along the way could do that ... I know think it's unlikely but it would probably just be "visually annoying" for non-MIME mailer recipients.
