dir="ltr">Ifyou forwarded it as text it would've worked :-P<p dir="ltr">I'm betting the problem this time (not on a
computerto confirm atm) is that your message was sent as one plaintext piece with nothing, or possibly your signature,
init. And then one rfc822 arraignment. We then extract the plaintext piece and show that. <p dir="ltr">Actually doing a
fullyrecursive parse of the mime structure can basically become arbitrarily complex. We could special case this one of
course,but does it really happen often enough to be worth it? And when it had such a simple workaround (use plain
text)?<br /><br /><p dir="ltr">> (Another fix would be that I no longer moderate pgsql-jobs, but then<br /> >

thatregard you are probably better off just asking for a volunteer first. Its not like someone can actually be
appointedto it, they'd have to volunteer first.. <p dir="ltr">/Magnus
