Good folk of the EMC-PSTC. 1. Graphics. My Email is all managed by my Compuserve connection, and that now automatically, seamlessly (their word), and transparently (my word) decodes anything that comes in very succesfully, I simply get a screen message that xxx file is save as yyyy in the DOWNLOAD directory. It uses the MIME protocol, recognises most encoding, and - so far- is totally useful and succesful.
I have a 28.8 phone connection, and simply click on the 'GET ALL' button and downloads, including all graphics, texts, WAV's, dogs, chickens and the smell of a pink rose at dawn rarely take more than 2-3 minutes to complete. I typically have 30-40 mails waiting when I connect. On a good day, simple text files complete downloading in 20-40 seconds, and it dials up, and hangs up in less than a minute. 2. Signatures. Compuserve (WinCim 2.6) doesn't have a facility for auto signatures, and I would spend a day typing out Email addresses, post adresses, phone numbers, dates, jokes, etc. on each mail I send/reply to, so I rely on the mail header (picked up by just about all mail software when the REPLY button is pressed) as my route back to me. One thing I do do, is add my geographical location to my signature, that has to be sensible. I dont supply my full address as I don't want Claudia Schiffer and Jennifer Aniston to find where I've moved to. On a world-wide forum such as this, we have submissions from all over the world, and probably some from Mars as well, and it puts a perspective on things if we know the source of the comments.
