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?
