I have experienced the same problem with emails from a specific user (see my previous post from Friday last week titled 'Odd problem with HTML mail'. Since then I have tracked it down to what appears to be bad handling of cid: references within the body of the email when they point to non-existent parts. That's a lay-person interpretation of what's happening as I don't fully understand how cid: urls are supposed to work within an email. I presume they get resolved to other multipart sections of the email that in my case aren't there, at least that I can determine. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
