	XMTP is an XML <-> MIME mapping which transforms SMTP messages into XML.
The mapping is described at http://jabr.ne.mediaone.net/documents/xmtp.htm

	If you send a message to test-xmtp@j... it will
autorespond, inserting the XMLized message (headers and body) in the
response body. This works with binary attachments as well.

	If you send a message to XMTP-BOARD@j... you can see it via
XML/XSL by browsing:
http://jabr.ne.mediaone.net/xmtp/listxmtp.asp?User=xmtp-board (this uses
IE5b2 XSL).

Valid HTML can't be left alone because this is not required to be well
formed XML hence HTML is escaped. XML is left alone if the
content-type=text/xml

Enjoy,
