(As I explained this in an earlier message) Saving as text, then decode that using Aladdin Expander usually works. This converts the text back to the original binary (jpeg, doc, whatever). If that works, you can delete the text file. The email transport protocol chokes on binaries so they have to be coded into text, the translation to and from the attached file ideally is transparent to the user, but sometimes it's not and you have to do it explicitly. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
