My reading of RFC 1521 indicates that this is not sufficient, and I have found at least one MTA that incorrectly handles e-mail with this Content-Type. I draw your attention to: Note also that a subtype specification is MANDATORY. There are no default subtypes. which appears in: http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/1521/4.htm The Content-Type: should be specified as "text/plain", or "text/plain; charset=us-ascii", or the "Content-Type:" header field should not be included at all (in which case the "text/plain; charset=us-ascii" is assumed). A lovely thing about emacs' mail is that I can manually edit in the Content-Type header and make it whatever I want, so that I can get around my problem with the MTA I mentioned above. But it looks like emacs (or is it solaris's instantiation of sendmail?) is broken as far as 1521 is concerned. -- Mickey Rowe (rowe@psych.ucsb.edu) --===============0455024836== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Bug-gnu-emacs mailing list Bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnu-emacs --===============0455024836==--
