I just recently learned that a line starting with "begin " (two spaces) is interpreted by M$ clients as the start of a uuencode sequence. If this accidentally occurs at the start of a line, the rest of the message will disappear as Outlook or OE attempt to intepret the rest as an attachment. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q265230
