There was nothing in the body at all.  Only thing I can think of is the
possibility of the MIME being interpreted as "Then" even if using --- 

I was right... here is the first part of the message that appears in the
message that is posted even though the body is blank with the tearline <--->

This is a multipart message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_013B_01D01314.288E9150
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
        boundary="----=_NextPart_001_013C_01D01314.288E9150"


------=_NextPart_001_013C_01D01314.288E9150
Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

[end quote]


Notice the "This" as the first word.  So the MIME is causing issues... 

Thanks for your help...
