I'm afraid this is just another strange behaviour of OE (I don't want to call it bug :-)

In fact, it seems a security feature, as OE under some circumstances executes <script>-Tags in text/plain mails, so text/plain is not harmless :-(

Although this doesn't protect one from getting javascript executed in text/plain messages without MIME :-)

You can try to file a bug report to Microsoft...

markus,
who just remembered that you should never type "BEGIN  SOMETHING" as first line of your message when OE users want to read it...
