Exhibit 1 below is the entry in my sent-mail folder, and Exhibit 2 is a
reply from the confused recipient of the mail. As you can see, my reply
was not found in the message as received. This seems to be a feature of
replying to Windows users. Any ideas?

> replying to Windows users. Any ideas?

The messages are intermingled in odd ways.  I can't tell if this is 
because of some mishap in the way you pasted the messages into the email 
you sent to pine-info, or if the intermingling happened at an earlier time.

Currently you've got:

Message_1's starting "From "
Mime headers for message_1, labeling it as multipart/alternative
The first boundary marker for message_1

Message_2's starting "From "
Mime headers for message_2, labeling it as multipart/alternative
The first boundary marker for message_2
The second boundary marker for message_2
The terminal boundary marker for message_2
The second boundary marker for message_1 (!)
The terminal boundary marker for message_1 (!)

I have no idea how mime boundary markers for message_1 happened to end 
up down in message_2.  If I join the two messages you provided into a 
single mail file (*.eml) and try to read that file with OutlookExpress 
or with Mozilla, the programs display only the text/html content between 
the second and terminal boundary markers for message_1, completely 
ignoring the content between the first and second boundary markers.

This means, incidentally, that OE and Mozilla display exactly the text 
that your correspondent saw: just the "Could you let me know when to 
expect to receive some papers?" part, because that's all that is present 
in the text/html section.
