[Heathkit] Plain text TEST

[Jim Shorney]

It's not that it is being "rejected". I have examined all the messages that come through as blank and the message text is actually there but is encoded as multi-part MIME. To make matters worse, one part is nested within another. This makes it look like an unrecognized or undecodable attachment to some mail clients and the body of the message appears blank.

For example, Sandy's original test message appears blank to me. But when I look at the raw message I see this:

>Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============4945518188467905364=="
>Sender: heathkit-bounces at mailman.qth.net

I'm hoping that came through for everyone, I tied to disguise it by using a quoted text format....

Not an ISP issue, it appears to be a MIME issue.

Unfortunately, within the last few weeks, a number of the ISP are rejecting anything except "plain text".  In the past, you did not have to go to "plain text".  What has happened? I have no idea!
