from "Neil T." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : I am in a situation where two of us are using the PC. I prefer using Arachne for browsing and mail and Joanie uses W98. The problem is when the mail comes through and there are messages for Joan, I forward them on so when she logs on and fetches her mail, its there and waiting. Most of the stuff comes through fine, but there have been a few messages that I have forwarded, that when opened with w98 are random letters. I notice now that this message form that I am using has the mime box checked. A message received yesterday that open'd OK but when I forwarded it and Joan opened, some of the text was garbled and there was mention on the message about Mime format. What is mime and is there a way to unscramble the text? (yes, she should either use Arachne or get her own email set up!) (end of quote) Do you and Joan use the same email address, [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Can you forward email to your own address? MIME = Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (if I remember correctly). Maybe uncheck the mime box? Or make a special directory, like maybe \JOAN or \JOANMAIL, and save to that directory in raw-data form, as downloaded by Arachne?
