Hi Ben, I have noticed similar issues and filed a bug report back in November about the issue. I hadn't recognized it as an encoding issue - so I just complained that PM was hard-folding lines when sending, unlike Mail.app. So far I've not received any response but maybe it's time to push the issue again as it is quite problematic. I'm also having a *lot* of problem with PM not dealing with multi-part MIME content boundaries, such as Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary*0=----000000000000000000000000000000000000; boundary*1=000000000000000000000000000 I get many messages formatted this way and PM is useless - it shows zero content!. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. This is a real pain. Regards.....Peter
