Eric,
I have avoided these problems. If you are on Win3.1 or WFWG, you
can only run Juno 1.xx. You *cannot* use Juno 2-5.xx. If you are on
Win9.xx, just put the juno program in a directory other than one named
"juno." From what I have heard (I don't run Win9.xx) the upgrade
programs will not be able to find your install of juno. The attachment
thing is another matter. At this point, they should be sending them
through, however, in the past there was a time when they hosed up your
account when you received them. If that does happen, you can go to
their web site (webmail.juno.com) and get your email there-and you can
use Arachne to get there! Just delete the offending attachments and tell
the sender not to send them any more.
