Refer to my web site for "decoding" MIME. Many mailers, ISPs, etc., convert messages for a myriad of reasons. One caveat, there are also programs that encode using "UUCODE" which have at least 3 versions I'm aware of; however, the directions at the bottom of my web page should work for most.

Many go and download the software to open, but it doesn't work. I have one man who has lost all the messages for August, because of this. I have another who contacted AOL, who told him they were doing everything right, so it must be someone elses problem. Yes both of them are willing to pay postage for me to run all those messages off and send to them. But that could get to be a full time business. Suggestions!!!!!!
