Hi Phil,

thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

I've tried to understand the information of the thread you mentioned, but I have
to admit that I failed...

Of those options you've mentioned to me the first two are not feasible for me as
I definitly lack the necessary programming skills.
The third option might work, if I knew how to do it. ;-)

That leaves the fourth option. I'm willing to try it, but as I'm using the MUA
that came with the SuSE-Linux-10.2-DVD and I didn't choose it specifically, I'm
at a loss when it comes to choosing an alternative.
Perhaps you can give my advice which MUA I should install.

The MUA my BB-Server is currently talking to and sending mails through
identifies itself as:

Heirloom mailx 12.1 6/15/06

Sorry to be such a bother, but it would greatly simplify working with the
BigBrother-mail-notification, if they arrived as simple text mails instead of
attachments. :-)

Greetings
