<pre> tags problematic

["Terry Ally" <terryally@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim,

I tried the option below and nothing happens - unless I have to place it in a specific part of the RCFILE.

I also tried the other option which you recommended:

                 <MIMEArgs>
                 m2h_text_plain::filter; attachcheck quote htmlcheck maxwidth=90 target=_blank
                </MIMEArgs>

This one does wrap the test but the <pre> </pre> tags are still there and it does not make for a good presentation.

I also tried putting in a meta tag defining CONTENT-TYPE and that does not work either.


The email programme I am using shows:

             <!-- MHonArc v2.6.8 -->
             <!--X-Subject: Forecast for tonight -->
             <!--X-From-R13: Freel Oyyl <greelNpqren.bet> -->
             <!--X-Date: Fri, 7 May 2004 01:38:31 GMT  -->
             <!--X-Message-Id: 1083893911.8732@xxxxxxxxx -->
             <!--X-Content-Type: text/plain -->
             <!--X-Head-End-->


When I email from another email programme which has 

            <!--X-Content-Type: multipart/alternative -->

the results are terrible ... all the HTML code is showing up on the page.

I still need help on this one
