I fully agree with that. One could also defend this position with RFC 1521, "7.2.1 Multipart: The common syntax" which specifies the body to be "syntactically identical to an RFC 822 message." Recursive usage of multipart messages is not useful for web content. It's actually useful when handling email (e.g. forwarding a multipart message and adding another RFC 822-style message). -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
