This may work for you but not for me. Why do you care what my motives for wanting something. I don't want to forward email as an attachment I want it inline and If the email source is displayed and I want to forward it then why shouldn't I be able to do this? Example: I get some spam and know who the originating ISP is so I want to send forward an email to them requesting they remedy the situation and the proof is the email source. I can cut an paste but if it is already displayed then why can't that be inlined? Well, it could be if the idea if maximum flexibility isn't killed all together. > > > > 4.

Why yes. Gentoo only has 1.0.8 as far as I know.
