Greetings,

I received I multi-part MIME message, in around 60 parts (each
part being about 30k in length).  The headers appear as:

I was wondering if this is 'normal', an extension added to 
UltiMail, or if Pine simply does not support multipart messages.

If the last, will Pine (4.00?) support it?

As the Technical Notes states does PINE 3.91 not support multipart Messages

Sorry,
 Michael Joswig

PS: The Statement reads "currently not supported" so there IS hope ;-)

Your ULTIMAIL correspondant can set the size of message to a LARGE number 
like 10 Mb, and then it won't get split.
