Agreed Bill... for things like schematics and file attachments, there's
nothing better.  (GRIN)

Actually, I am not sure, but I don't think MIME was the real issue here,
it was HTML... but... the poster said MIME, so... I'll stick with MIME
for the argument.  They both fall pretty much in the same corner... if
not needed, turn them off.  (GRIN)
