Hey, don't tell anyone! It's a secret!

No, no. The message I sent to SCOUG-Programming is just plain ASCII text.
I didn't intend for that to have a 'Content-Type' or to be MIME.
The tests I've sent so far, to myself, never made it back (to me.).
That's what I don't understand.
I guess I didn't make the example clear enough, everything between the

'########################...'

was what was sent out and didn't return, with the details of the header
thrown out ( indicated by the comment in the <...> brackets at the beginning.)

Your comment has suggested another experiment though -
I am going to try putting a Content-Transfer-Encoding type in the mail header.
Looking over RFC 1521, it looks like it can be done.
