The message is MIME compliant -- perfectly so. It began and ended with proper MIME separators and defined the data types of each of the sections of the message, including the plaintext version your mail reader should have presented you with. If I'm not mistaken, the ms-tnef section may have even been labelled as alternative content; not as an attachment. MIME compliance has _nothing_ to do with the data inside the MIME sections if they are properly separated and labelled. Your complaint is likely that his mail reader sends a second copy of the E-mail in a non-ASCII format; properly MIME encapsulated. If so, that is a potentially valid complaint, but has little to nothing to do with its MIME compliance. Why don't _you_ read the RFCs? -- Michael T.
