	I got it as multipart/alternative, with the alternatives being
text/plain and text/html.  The text/plain part is what my mailer
automagically showed.  I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.

	IMHO, Microsoft's MIME support has gotten lots better with
subsequent releases of Outlook.  Sadly, most UNIX mailers haven't kept
up as well as they should.  Luckily, I use mutt, which has.  :-)

	I kinda wonder why this is actually.  I guess it's probably that
Outlook doesn't have an e-mail monopoly even on the PC.  And then with
all the web based mail services...

Have fun (if at all possible),
