I can send a html page, image or other type of content identified by their mime types through an email client. And also vice versa, i.e I can recieve the mime attachments in emails. If my mail reader understands mime, it will display the attachments in their original format. But the question was I think , If I have a normal mime compliant email s/w, and I want to place http requests & don,t have internet access, can I request & get a document from a http server ? -mukul >Multipart content type with graphics attached.
