WMS - Reprojecting and losing transparency?

[Peter Giencke]

Hi,

Am I right to assume that under in the following circumstance, a
'reprojected' wms layer will lose its transparency? I did some digging and
couldn't find a straight answer...

Below is a parred down version of the mapfile I'm using; it becomes
untransparent after the projection to UTM. Hopefully I'm wrong and there's a
way to do this....
