I am running OS X (10.3.5) on my 1.8 Dual G5,
using only Safari, and I love Mail.app...

This morning I got my usual QuickTime @mail newsletter, and found this:

<MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; charset=us-ascii;
boundary="This_is_the_boundary_hip_ho"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

--This_is_the_boundary_hip_ho
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

You appear to be using an email application that won't properly
display the graphical (or HTML) version of our newsletter. Because
we want you to enjoy reading QuickTime News, we recommend that you
visit the following site and switch to the plain text version of
this newsletter:>

AND, I had a good, somewhat ironic moment, as I read that!!!!?

What?

Are you asking for help with the e-mail? Hit Cmd-Opt-U on the message and paste the raw message here. I'll take a look.

Xeo, no, not help at all. I just found it ironic, Apple sending an email that would not open properly in their Mail.app. Just today's email... all the other ones from them work(ed).

Can't send you data, since I deleted it. It is funny though.

Oh. I see. I didn't get what you meant with your first post.

But I don't think it's ironic. Sorry. It only displayed wrong 'cause the message was malformed. That can happen to anyone.

I got the same message as well in webmail. I think something's busted with their html in that newsletter, not that Mail can't display the html under normal circumstances. (Not sure that made sense -- I think it's the emails fault, not Mail.app's fault.)

Someone post the raw source. I'm just curious as to what it looks like.
