I've tried to open my test message via webmail and I've got the same
problems.
Looking at the email that I've included in my previous message I think
that it could be a bug in the gb.net.smtp component.
In fact I think that the method used to include the message body
(.Add()) isn't correct: it includes the message body as attachment.
So the mail readers are not able to distinguish between the 2 Mimetypes
(I think...).
