Subject: Decoding MIME attachments
Hello,
just wondering what program I should use to decode MIME attachments that I
get back from www4mail servers. Maybe they're a lot and surely one of them
would work best...
Thanks for your hints,
Elek

So, I take it from here.
I've used this monster once so I'll know how to control it to work with you.
If you can, change to smaller, better email software.
M$ Internet Mail is a lot smaller, load faster and the interface it not so far
from Outlook Express (try pegasus and you know what I mean).
1. Save the mail as .eml file.
For example: c:\temp\file1.eml, file2.eml, file3.eml and file4.eml
2. Run Dos Prompt and in the black box type:
C:\Temp>copy file1.eml+file2.eml+file3.eml+file4.eml file.eml
3. Run WordPad and open file.eml
4. Remove anything between M..... and the other M.....
Like From:, Subject:, etc
5. Save it
6. Double Click It from Windows Explorer
7. Outlook Express will (hopefully) decode the file
8. Save the file
9. Rename it when necessary
Tips:
1. You can change filename in "begin filename.ext 777" to whatever
you ask in the first place so you don't have to rename it.
2. If you have WinZip you can do it in three step. Do Step 1 and 2
but change the extension to .uue. Open it with WinZip and youre done.
No editing. No mis-delete.
Hope that will help,

Could you tell me what's the matter with ACCMAIL@Listserv? I've
subscribed for a very very long time. But since the year 1999,
ACCMAIL haven't sent me any digests. I can only resubscribe, it
allowed! So I think maybe the database of subscribers in ACCMAIL
have been broken. Am I right? Answer me, please!

Somewhat cheaper will be the Windows software I'm testing that will do a
similar job. My current plan is that it will be free. Ready RSN

The one that works best is the one that suits you. If I mention one
then surely we will have 20 more answers of "me too" or "I use
such-and-such". I suggest you check Bob Appleton's EMAIL4U
=10=Utilities that support MIME/BASE 64 decoding

Out of 2700+ subscribers you are the only one to mention this. Your
subscription options are set to DIGEST mode and at the address of
Li Yuan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Your address appears to be the
same and there are other subscribers at the same ISP.
I don't have a clue what the problem is. This occured one or two
times in 1998 and the only solution for some of the users was to
unsubscribe and then re-subscribe.
