  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When creating MIME based message actions from recorded       *
  * messages Rational Integration Tester does not correctly      *
  * store the content-type header for text-parts.  When RIT      *
  * sends the created message the on-the-wire format is          *
  * incorrect and the receiving system will not process the      *
  * message correctly.                                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
