I also see this fairly often. Of course, because these folks care about how their message looks, they also include "stationery", background or border images. So I'll get a multipart/alternative message with one or two image attachments, where the text part is about 300 byte, the html part about 3k bytes, and the images about 30-100k bytes each. The "best" ones are from the IT department, rejoicing in their latest efficiency measures... -- David Ellement <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
