mod_mbox's parsing routines don't support multipart parsing, but I don't think it would be that hard to add. I'll take a quick look at the MIME multipart spec to see what it requires. mod_mbox's parsing is fairly straightforward. I'll assume that mod_pop3's is in the similar hackish vein. =-) -- justin
