Place cursor at bottom of headers and press enter a few times to establish some blank text. Remove attachements. Go through headers in detail, looking for Mime boundaries, HTML content type, references to attachments and remove the lot. Change whatever charset definitions are present to: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Highlight the wanted text in the NetSurf window and copy and paste it into the blank e-mail window, below the carriage returns already typed. Remove all the extraneous double spacing that this introduces. Save e-mail and close. Re-open and check all is OK. Close Netsurf window. (If all is not OK, go back to headers and look for anything you missed that will bugger up the text that you missed last time).
