The problem with NeXT "attachements" is that they typically are not attachements but rather full NeXT message bodies. What we'd need is a more decent multimedia Mail.app (and News reader too) that'd obey by at least some of the established MHS concepts. Then there would be no problem sending multimedia *bodyparts* as that would still result in understandable (if not 100% renderable) messages even to non-NeXT recipients. (It would still serve to give a slight push in getting a NeXT in order to be able to properly view full 100% of the message :-) Timo (A NeXT user but boycotting Mail.app for the above mentioned reason) -- ____/ ___ ___/ / Kivihaantie 8 C 25 / / / SF-00310 HELSINKI, Finland ____ / / / Phone: +358 0 1399 0151, +358 49 424 012 Stream Technologies Inc.
