I haven't looked at proletext, but will point out that any subtype of 
text pretty much went down in flames when we tried sending some 
samples around. We tried text/paragraph with a format that was 
basically plain. Too many mailers default to treating this as an 
attachment.

Clearly such mailers are broken (i.e. non-compliant)


So what else is new?
My favourite weirdness this week is that if Exchange *relays* a message
from SMTP to SMTP that contains a *charset* it does not understand, it turns
the body of that text/plain message into an attachment.
It seems 100% determined to create as many attachments as it can.

What fun....
