Hi Rick,

It's not strictly what I was asking as I am talking about the mimeEncode
library. Plus it's a file that is then not easily selectable directly from
the email. I just want to be able to display a small table of data in the
email that is easily readable with a small footprint and using specifically
the mimeEncodeFieldAsMIMEMultipartDocument(pField).
