It's perfectly valid behaviour.I wouldn't expect a base64 encoded body to cause you replying/quoting issues.

I guess our email have crossed, but I'll say it again: I have tried to use Alpine, but it will not install under Debian Lenny, neither would it compile cleanly ...
However, just in-case.. I've just checked again and Oh.. They've repackaged it for Lenny.
And I'm using it now.Hm. It stalls more than pine did when processing filters. Might have to actually read the manual as I get automatic emails once a minute which are starting to become really annoying which weren't noticed at all with pine.
Maybe time to switch to using procmail. Oh, it's such a bother! Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
