Do you mean multipart/alternative with one body part for each language? I do not think that is feasible, if you check how present mail UAs handle this. Most people would get only the first or the last alternative, quit independently of which language they actually can read. My proposal with multipart/alternative, but with an extra body part first and last in the multipart/alternative, was an attempt at accomodating your wish to use multipart/alternative, and still get something wich works acceptably when received by today's mail UAs. -- Jacob Palme <jpalme@dsv.su.se> (Stockholm University and KTH) for more info see URL: http://www.dsv.su.se/jpalme/Received on Tuesday, 15 January 2002 15:14:51 GMT
