this is working fine here. could it be there is also an HTML part to
the message that isn't getting changed? if so strip that part out when
you edit the message.

You are both absolutely right.  The message is apparently encoded in  MIME plus there is an HTML  portion.
I just copy/pasted my small edit (email ID and password) into the HTML part and it came right up.

If I understand this correctly, the MIME portion was actually in plain text.
I have included the message for your inspection and comment as to which portion is which.
Because I am getting error messages each time I send with the message either attached
or included I have zipped it up.

I'm particularly interested in how the boundry lines work.  There seem to be too many.

My comments in the attached email begin with "lba:"  - not the quotes.

I am under the impression that PMMail can not display MIME.  But this was just text so I'm confused.

Thanks for your help.
