Thanks all! Let's see if I can do one big reply. > Difficult to avoid HTML Yeah, with some re-programming (see next answer) I could go to HTML Not the best use of my time, but I can do that.
> Did I try the HTML? Yes, If I add the following to the e-mail then GMail accepts it. "Mime-Version: 1.0;" 'Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1";' "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit;" " " /* Watch out -- null lines kill EXECIO */ But that screws up the formatting of the email because it becomes flow-together HTML rather than individual monospaced lines. (Does what I am saying make sense?) > Service bureau ... It is an LPAR on a service bureau machine. I have complete control over the LPAR, but it is talking to some SMTP gateway that I do not control. I am not an SMTP expert ... > @Phil ... Thanks for the link. Duh. I did not think to Google the error. But lots of complainers there; no resolution that i saw. > I would suspect a need to further configure due to some newer gmail > requirements Me too, but what?
