Well, that's the theory. ;-)

I can't recall if I read using "?" was supported or not, but I vaguely
remember seeing someone else using it or posting that it was OK.  Haven't
checked the archives.  A search on "?" probably wouldn't be very productive!

Interestingly, I just took a look at the message that got through, and it
was text.  The others are html.  Might be a clue, although I didn't realize
they might be handled differently (beyond the issues w/exploits like
iframes, etc. of course).

Thanks, I'll give that a try.  Appreciate the help...
