You were right on with your last help but, with all due respect, you think wrong in this case. I DO have the MIME digests as attachments turned off and,in fact, receive other digested lists that claim to be MIME quite well.
Please don't take this as anything but my usual curmudgeonly style, but have you actually read the _header fields_ of the email among the different lists, so you can verify that these "other" lists are indeed doing things "correctly?" SmartList defaults to a content type of multipart/digest with the appropriate boundary...I don't know what your "other digested lists" are sent as, but SmartList is certainly doing things correctly by default so far as I can see. (Please note I am refering to the defaults; I suppose it's possible if you didn't install SmartList yourself that the folks at behosting.com might have changed something. If _that's_ the case, and you did _not_ install it yourself, you might want to check with them for more information.) Again, like I said before, before you can consider this, you need to understand the various acceptable general MIME types for email messages.
Like I said in my original message, I admit to knowing almost nothing about SmartList (or programming), but, as a computer professional, I like to think I know a few things.
I never meant to imply that you didn't. Your question shows pretty clearly that you do _not_ understand much about email is formatted, however. (This isn't a lack-of-knowledge about SmartList, but rather one about how email is supposed to be formatted. That is all I was implying when I suggested areas for you to suppliment your knowledge base, trying to gently tell you that this has nothing to do with your not understanding SmartList and pointing you in a different direction so you might learn constructively.) I stand firmly by my contention that SmartList, by default, supplies the _correct_ MIME type. Anyone here is, of course, free to correct me if I am wrong. (Wouldn't be the first time...)
