Well it looks like Mail.app is discerning when it comes to the structure of HTML mail. Seems some work fine (on my system anyway - my wife's always). In the process I have learned a new shortcut for Mail oa-] which translates to View:Message: Use next alternative, Still haven't figured out why one system 10.4.11 sees it fine while another system also 10.4.11 doesn't. Oh well more exploration in the future. Martin --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi>
