Chuck -- I too am getting mime but worse, attachments in my Prodigy mailbox. I have 5 attachments in my mailbox right now and they will soon float away into cyberspace as Prodigy keeps mail only for specified periods. I wrote earlier that I don't do attachments for space and other reasons and received letters from two subscribers who offered help but my problem is still that Email attachments will only download on my harddrive -- I have to elect to not open them. I guess I have missed issues 173 - 180 for the most part. I can't look right at this moment. Often mime comes through so I can read it other people have sent me stuff that looked like encryption. Why would some of the Digests be coming to my address as attachments? By the way, I will have to change this address in about 30 days when I get another on line server. I am still using a couple features with this one but looking for other avenues. Marilyn Newman Carpenter descendant from William of Rehoboth.
