Note: It is presently a restriction of the program that if you forward a multipart MIME message with changes, the multiple parts will not be accessible to the final recipient. To get around this, we recommend that you forward the message twice, once without changes, to preserve the multiple parts, and the other time with changes to include your edits. **************** I uncheck the box that says 'edit mesage before forwarding' and it appears to work now. Is this going to be fixed soon? PHil **************************************** philh@mindspringx.com Remove the 'x' to reply for email ****************************************
