Hi,

I'm subscribed to the ActiveState perl-win32-users bulletin board
 http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users 
and I think that they changed the MIME format earlier this year, so that
the
 multipart/digest
now has a
 message/rfc822 
MIME header before each message.  This is causing VM not to show the
correct summary for the digest, and each message in the digest is
treated as having a message/digest attachment, which must be opened.

Looking at the RFCs (
 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt 
), it appears that this MIME format may be valid:
  If no Content-Type field is present it is assumed to be
  "message/rfc822" in a "multipart/digest" and "text/plain"
  otherwise. 

Is there a switch in VM to enable it to support this type of MIME
message?

I've appended a part of perl-win32-users digest for you to look at.

I'm running vm 7.17 with emacs 21.2.1 on Windows XP.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Douglas.

GIF files have an internal, lossless LZW compression.  I don't believ=
e=20
the format permits any other compression method, such as JPG, althoug=
h=20
