@Spuds - reply to this so I get an email notification, and I'll throw another email reply at you with yet different formatting to stress-test the parser.. Pegasus has an "Attachment Information" switch that, if enabled, will give you this..

If I recall correctly, two years ago the parser would interpret it as two separate attachments
and the second part is stored as raw (unencoded) alphanumeric, which of course gives an
"unrecognized format" response.
In your reply to this, if you ask me nicely to not to blow up the parser, I won't do an email reply to it with an attachment and "Attachment Information" enabled ..
