Brian,
Your results are different than mine. See the example below, which
is clearly text/plain, exactly the same as from Netscape Messenger.
What I wanted was a way for AOL V6 users to be able to send in
plain text to my mailing lists; at least with the examples I have
seen, it works. Hopefully your example is "the exception that
proves the rule!"
