another approach is to automatically run emails through a filter that replaces multipart/alternative + text/plain + text/html attachments with just the text/html attachment if the text/plain attachment is empty or contains the phrase: Your email client does not support HTML email the attached perl script can be used with procmail to achieve this without the need to know in advance who uses email clients that don't understand the meaning of the word "alternative". but it is drastic in that it modifies the emails before you see them. you might see that as overkill and you'd probably be right. :-) cheers, raf
