Hi Carol, I don't know if you're using Outlook Express, but when my digest attachments arrive I don't download the attachment, I click on the paperclip and then click on the message I want to read. Then I click on 'open' rather than 'save to file' and the message is opened for me. Or you could contact the list admin and request that your mailings aren't sent in MIME format, and then you'll get the messages as a continuous email as in the Gamorgan list, rather than as an attachment.
