Sam,
As best I can remember, AOL email will send files to other email services as
RFC attachments. IIRC, this only signifies it conforms to RFC standards.
Just save the file as a plain text file...in Arachne press F2, then either
"view as plain text" or save as plain text. AOL always has been a bit
different from other email services...I should know, I've been on AOL for
some 5 years now, hehe! Another quirk with AOL is hyperlinks embedded in
received emails...most only show up as the web site address or whatever.
Something with the style of "quoting" that AOL uses...just another reason I
call it AOHell!
Hope this clears you up a bit and not muddy everything!
C U L8R!

Subject: What is an RFC attachment, and why?
Hello:
Recently I have received some emails with attachments identified
as files having an "RFC" extension. Clicking on the attachment
ikon does not work. Absolutely nothing happens. When viewing source
I find these attachments as appearing to be only ascii text files.
What is an RFC file, and why do the senders of such attachments
identify them as such instead of naming them simply as TXT files?
Regards,
