I typed that in by hand from memory, Roger, and I think it wrapped in 
my mailer, besides. Don't take it too seriously! <grin>

What is invalid about it? I know that some major e-mail vendors quote 
the boundary string, while others don't, and that if boundary= is on 
its own line it must be preceeded by whitespace.

I have thousands of archived messages to analyze, and at least 3 
different mail systems to test with, so I'll sure find out if I'm 
missing anything from that end.

Darn! <grin>

If I can even find out why "? doesn't reliably match an optional double 
quote, I'd be much farther along. That's the first annoying failure.
