I tried that and it didn't work. I also got "dinged" for doing it.  
Apple may handle it OK internally as I when I got a copy back it was  
correct but almost none of the other people said it worked. I sent  
along in a later post what had happened. I had even asked before I  
sent it if it was OK to put the "<" and ">" sign(s) before and after.  
The answer was don't blame us if it doesn't work. Of course it didn't.

This list is mainly made of extremely anal retentive types and  
anything that is not 100 percent correct makes the wording of the  
entire email incorrect (although it probably is). I am just a  
whipping boy because of mails apparent variation from the RFC's. They  
make their living being right all the time.
