Two totally different issues. Issue 1 - OE and Outlook proper have a bug, whereby any mail that contains the fragment 'begin ' at the start of a sentence gets mangled. Their mail parser treats 'begin ' as a UUEncode delimiter. Issue 2 - begin 666 filename indicates UUEncoding. Just a way for the worm to pass itself around - it predates MIME encoding. _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
