I just may have to do that. One problem though is that many mails are encoded in some way (I mean byte-encoding, like base 64) and I was hoping to make use of the transparent decoding capability of a class or library made to do that sort of thing. But if I cannot, then yours is the approach I will probably use. > All them lawyerly crapola signatures outside the control of the > actual user implies that there is SOME kind of software available > to do it... ...but many of them are in commercial packages, or are plugins to MSExchange or similar. And most of the open-source ones only stick the footer in the first piece of text/plain that they find, without being aware of multiparts. Thanks, Geoff.
