Glenn, L.D., and Sam Heywood, I will typically receive attachments, regardless of whether they are ASCII text, HTML or BINARY, as a separate file. In fact, Sam Heywood's post was the first message that I ever received that had the attachment included as part of the message. Because it was part of the message, I assumed that Sam had copied and pasted the text file into the message and was perplexed how that action could have caused the file to be encoded.

But on mail from my oldest son, yesterday, I got the same type of "I ain't gonna convert this so take a look" treatment from Arachne. NOW what??!! And, to answer Roger's question -- Arachne had no way of knowing that DIZ is a text file! So it was encoded. Glenn, or ??? Where do we add a line designating *.DIZ as text??<< Sam Heywood wrote: >>Very good question. I took a look at this message before I sent it. While it was still in my outbox, I clicked on the ikon representing the attachment, and it opened and displayed just like any other text attachment.<<
