No a guru myself Dave, but as nobody else has followed-up yet, I would
think it may well be a Maildot feature. If you like you can Forward a
non-private copy to me and I'll tell you how Thor deals with it.

Let me here first though, and I'll lower the spam shields.  :)

Yes

Or...

I'd guess that your mail prog doesn't know multipart/related and just gives
its best shot at decoding what it can. Since I don't know the prog I haven't
got a clue if it copes with html, but the jpeg part is also the last section
so that might be why that is all that shows.

Personally I prefer answer 1 ;-)

I hate it when he does that.

Tis a bit lonely in here, in fact in all the Amiga groups. I see the curse
has another victim in its sights, another year, another sale. Though I've
actually witnessed someone installing OS4, it did look just a little like
3.anything.

Well, as you can see, I'm very busy doing nothing, so I must get back to it.

Dah, you're just saying that 'cos you've lived with the windows filth so
long you think its healthy.

More Centari than Vorlon I would say.  :)

Believe it or not, I really would love to see something viable with Amiga
written on the case, I might even buy one if I did (just for the hell of
it, I've been considering getting a Mac for something different). The reality
is that 4.0 looks, and according to what I heard works just like 3.0. All
the tools, utilities etc are all the same, it's just been rewritten for the
PPC processor, not really OS development, just porting. I've said for years
the old girl ought to be allowed to rest, shame they won't let her.

I have to be careful, if you'd been here when I was watching that video
of the guy installing OS4.0, you would have been kept here for many hours
having it explained to you where it all went wrong, and while I could talk
your ear off about it, I can't be bothered to type it. Plus I hate this
keyboard, serves me right for dumping half a litre of Pepsi in my old one.
