Sure, you could do that. You'd just have to encode it a layer up. If you had the equivalent of: Content-type: message/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary [binary data] and you wanted to send it through email as a message/http type, you could do something like this: Content-type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Q29udGVudC10eXBlOiBtZXNzYWdlL2h0dHAKQ29udGVudC1UcmFuc2Zlci1FbmNvZGlu ZzogYmluYXJ5CgpbYmluYXJ5IGRhdGFdCg== When you decoded this, you'd have the original message/http data. What's less clear to me is *why* you'd want to do this.... -- Nathaniel -------- Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is. -- Francis Bacon Nathaniel Borenstein <nsb@fv.com> | FAQ & PGP key: Chief Scientist, First Virtual Holdings | nsb+faq@nsb.fv.comReceived on Monday, 2 February 1998 08:51:59 UTC
