That doesn't help because each of the paragraph formatting commands like <center>, which is what Lennart was using, will cause a line break and commands cannot be continued across multipart boundaries. Anyway, whether or not the CRLF is included in the MIME boundary turns out to be irrelavent, even in text/plain. There is no implied presentation information given by that fact. You are at the very least not guaranteed that you'll get what you want out of any given package. Harald is correct: There is simply no way to do this in text/enriched, at least reliably. The only solution is to go to text/html, which includes a mechanism for displaying inline images. BTW Lennart, you should take a RFC 1896, since 1563 was obseleted by that.
