Hello Arachnids:
Received at my end an attachment represented by the ZIP.IKN and identified
as follows:
Attachment: qs.zip
(type: application: zip, encoding: base 64)
file: "c:\arachne\cache\qs.ZIP written.
The file contained 41,681 bytes. PKUNZIP was very happy with it!
In my ARACHNE.CFG I had edited a line to read "MailEncoding UUENCODE"
In the previous experiment this line in my ARACHNE.CFG was reading
"MailEncoding MIME". In this case I received QS.ZIP as a file consisting
of 56,349 bytes. When attempting to unzip it, PKUNZIP returned an error
message saying "no ZIP files found". I then decoded the file by using
a program named MIME64.EXE. This operation resulted in producing a file
of 41,680 bytes. PKUNZIP was then happy with it.
Conclusion: If you guys want to unzip PKZIP files received as email
attachments, it will be a lot easier for you if you would edit your
ARACHNE.CFG so that the line dealing with mail encoding would read
"MailEncoding UUENCODE"
Thanks a lot, Ron, for helping me so much in my investigation of this
problem.
Anybody wanting a copy of MIME64.EXE, 23,436 bytes, please send me a
request for it off list. This program appears to be freeware. I don't
know where it may be downloaded.
All the best,
Sam Heywood
