When sending attachments to AOL users, it is usually best to use Base64 and nothing else. AOL does really screwy stuff with their email, and in particular attachments. Saying AOL doesn't follow RFC's is an understatement. AOL doesn't even follow their OWN guidelines (you will get different results based soley off which AOL server your mail happens to hit on this pass). Base64 is the ONLY encoding method that appears to work every time with AOL (and I use "every time" in the loosest of senses... with AOL, there is no such thing as a guarentee). If you need to send a mac specific file to an AOL user (ie: maintain the resource fork), then you need to flatten the file first by compressing it or similar (compression is the easiest way to flatten any mac file). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
