that

approved,
}the problem is, I no longer get the posting itself either.

}Is this a bug in listserv, or what?

The norepro did that. noack terns off the acknowledge (but not the
pre-approval one) the norepro suppresses posts from you from coming back.

}Subject: Converting mim files

}This is a very basic question, and I feel rather "dumb" sending it, but:
}
}Can someone please tell me how to convert a "mim" file received through
}e-mail back into the type of file that was attached by the sender?
}

}
}------------------------------
Examine it with a file viewer.
If it starts with some thing looking like enternet headers, but with
different keywords, then look for some thing similar to
content-transfer-encoding: for a clue. A decoder like uudeview should
work.
If it is ALL gibberish, but the string JFIF is some place near the
beginning, then it just needs to be renamed. (Some picture viewers do
not even need that!)

}Subject: Search engines - Relevant statistics
}
}And what about the different SEARCH ENGINES?
}
} When I need to search for something, I'd like to know more about
the
}actual performances of varioussearch engines , in order to choose one
that
}is best fitted.
} Some data about capabilities and response time of current search
engine
}s
}would be wellcome.
}
}Sure, a question such as "which search engine is best?" is meaningless.
}But i think it could be useful to have a survey about this:
}
}1. Which search engine do you mostly use?
}
}2. Why do you prefer it? What advantages does it has?
}
}3. What was the average response time?
}
}4. How many times did you get an error?
}
}5.In which areas was it the best?
}
}6. What are its best qualities?
}
}7. What defficiencies does it has, and what does it seem to lack ("wish
}list")?
}
}8. etc.
}
}I'm waiting for your comments and oppinions.
}
There was an article some place earlier this month about how small a
percentage of the net was included in search engines. It totally lacked
reference to QUALITY of output.
As an example, it noted that YAHOO had the smallest index, but failed to
note WHY: YAHOO is mostly manually maintained, not using "spiders" or
"crawlers" to add sites. The result is a better quality index.

I have downloaded the zip file and find it useful - thank you William C
Andrews. However, in the service file for sending Anonymous Email one of
the remailers (I have yet to try all of them) does not seem to be working -
for example:
when you send it to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
you get this:
> ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>
> ----- Transcript of session follows -----
>550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Host unknown (Name server:
huge.cajones.com: host not found)
>
Maybe William C Andrews or someone knowledgeable about these things would
be kind enough to check this out and help in modifying the service file.
Also, is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a separate anon. remailer? It
gets added automatically on when you try the <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
option.
Thanks!

}------------------------------
Sounds like you are hitting a total-mailbox-size limit. Juno users know
about this one. (ours are limited to a bit under a meg!) The problem,
as you can see, is that you are missing parts 10 and up. You need to use
a server that can give you selected parts. The gopher method is common
for this.
Note that the encoded files will be about 35% larger than the decoded ZIP
(not counting internet headers). You are looking for about 9,482,238
bytes of body! You appear to be getting a about half of it, but part 9
sounds truncated (it should be the same size as 8, as it is NOT the last
part!)

Key statement about is the Encoding method -- base64 which is a form of
MIME encoding. You need a MIME/base64 decoder.
Several to choose from at SimtelNet. I mentioned them many times on
this list previously. Also the old 4u series have more listed.
