The 'text/plain' contains the human readable information in any format that is contained in the 'application/ipp' MIME type, namely five or six attributes. Should the entire mail body be the 'multi-part/alternative' MIME type which contains both the 'text/plain' and 'application/ipp' MIME types, since one is an alternative representation of the other? Or should the mail body be the text and the 'application/ipp' be an attachment? Which approach would work the best with existing mail readers (which would ignore the 'application/ipp' MIME type and display the text)? Thanks, Tom Hastings (310) 333-6413 </BODY> </HTML>
