1. I don't have the original message because my maildrop filter
sends all list posts from MSFT "email" programs to /dev/null.
2. That particular bug I've seen quoted in your reply to the
original message is an Outlook [Express]-specific thing. I
haven't seen it produced by the Lotus Notes client (at least as
broken as OE, possibly more) or anything else.
2. I'm not aware of any method (and doubt there is one) to make
Outlook send an RFC 822 message. All it can create is it's
crippled idea of MIME.
4. You have already shown that you (falsely) think MIME email ==
HTML email.
2. 3. and 4. lead me to the conclusion that it *was* a MIME message,
despite 1.
