Hi Greg, well, now that Pierre has pointed it out: The class-name inside the mime.php is even Mail_mime and not Mail_Mime. If we're thinking about PHP5 this might lead to problems since the class-names then are case- sensitive. So for PHP5 really Mail_mime and Mail_Mime (both classes, in two files) might be independent classes? Hmm - anybody got an idea how to solve these problems? Or just live with it? The change is hard - but better do it now than in 20 years - what do you think? Maybe together with squashing the bugs currently in the bug-system and releasing a 2.0 (new major) to clear up the naming conficts? Please note: There are even more "non-standard"- names used inside the class Mail_mimeDecode etc. Don't get me wrong - I like the class very much, since I've now discovered it's features today! :-)) Regards, Stefan
