The problem is that your message is being sent out as a multipart/mixed
MIME-encapsulated message. For some reason, your mail application
(openmail? not familiar with it) sent your message as an RTF document
within the first attachment:
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; name="BDY.RTF"
> Content-Disposition: inline; filename="BDY.RTF"
> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
RTF stands for Rich Text Format, and is a (supposed) standard for
document preparation between applications such as Word, Notepad,
and UNIX (until Microsoft bastardized the standards and made them
somewhat proprietary (sorry about the editorial comment)).
The trick is to find out if your mailer can disable MIME messages
at all -- you want to send them out as PLAIN TEXT. Also, to
everyone else -- do not include images or other attachments
either.
(I'm not picking on your specifically, but just thought this was
as opportune a time as any to mention it).
No help on the honeysuckle though??
It's been my experience that honeysuckle vines have to get fairly
sizeable before they'll bloom. I have a large (12' high) Lonicera
prolifera that's been planted out back for three years now (but
is six years old), and it put on one lonely set of blooms for
the first time this year.
Other factors that might influence blooming are the amount of
sunlight and water that your honeysuckle receives -- mine is in
full shade, growing up the trunk of a large oak tree.
