1. You say you do this as "metamail p1 p2 p3". Does the same problem happen when you do "metamail p1; metamail p2; metamail p3"? This would be the more usual way to do it. Either way it is a bug, but I'm trying to pin the problem down a little better... 2. OpenWindows Mailtool 3.0 is *NOT* MIME-conformant. It uses a format that is similar to, but different from, MIME. I have heard strong indications that the next version of this tool will be MIME-smart, but I don't think there's been any official committement from Sun. 3. MIME-smart versions of Eudora and Maelstrom are reportedly in the pipeline. I don't think anyone has ported the metamail code to the Mac because the basic interface paradigm is so different as to make the code less directly useful there than on other platforms. 4. Maybe metamail really is out of memory. If you can trace it (either with a debugger or by turning on metamail debugging, e.g. with MM_DEBUG) we can figure out where & why it is running out. I hope these answers are at least a little bit helpful... -- Nathaniel
