Actually, RFC 2046 is more recent, but says nearly the exact same thing. It adds: Systems should recognize that the content of the various parts [of multipart/alternative sections] are interchangeable. Systems should choose the "best" type based on the local environment and references, in some cases even through user interaction. By "Systems", I'm pretty sure they mean "recipient systems". ~Kyle - -- The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. -- Fr.
