I hope you will excuse another of my replies to myself.
I have spent quite a deal of time on the issue I mentioned earlier about
line termination and I have restructured fairly deeply
my script. So much so that I have deleted the %message-tools.r script from
my site and replaced it
with %mime-model.r which I think is a lot more sturdy as a solution.
It still needs work but should be more more useful now.
More comments in the code.
Any comments or bugs or improvements appreciated.
Brett.
