More specifically, you are having problems -only- when the message starts as 'Steve:...' because if there is no blank line between that line and the other headers, how would mush know that the line in question is a header or not? How would you recommend that it be implemented? Mush does not require a blank line between headers, but if there isn't one, unpredictable results may occur (as you have noticed). This is on reason why mush forces a blank line for you on outgoing messages. dan
