Re: missing CR characters

Okay,

Since XMIME changes the MIME header, it would discourage the Mail Server
and also mail Clients from trying to read the message! That way they just
treat is as a binary file.

Using getsize
=============
Let's say you do send the command GETSIZE 15000. If the Web Page is larger
than 15k then www4mail will zip it and send you the zipped version!
