I dont know to much about the mime format ,But when I look at a post it comes as
a square box which takes time to open so I must assume that the text is hidden
away from my computer until it does something to it.It may be different on
another machine but I dont know.I though that news items were suppose to have a
header which mimes dont,well they dont on my Atari anyway.
