You're not using MIME attachments, but proprietary Windows stuff. If you want us to even look at it, use MIME. c. All 32bit-time_t Unices will stop working properly in 2038. That's due to the way they internally store the time (in secs since 1-1-1970 0:00 GMT). So anything resembling Y3K testing is completely bogus anyway. d. You don't need to send three copies of your message. One would have sufficed.
