But if it's not possible with the current API and it's not possible to maintain BC (didn't have time to take a look at both APIs right now - only following Heino's explainations) then this might not work out. Heino, think again if it's possible to maintain BC with Mail_Mime and just launch a new major version. (If the maintainers of Mail_Mime agree - but I hope this can be discussed open-minded ... for the sake of "pear-as-a-whole", not personal attitudes). Stefan
