I've run into a problem as a result of the Administrivia Notice. It brought
to my attention a picture that arrived here at work and I'd deleted it
without knowing. Well, I resurrected it from the trash, and since we are
not supposed to have such pictures on a government computer, I sent it on
home.
I'm running Outlook on Win2K at work, but SuSE 7.2 at home (with KDE and
reading mail with KMail).
As has happened before, I received the picture at home as text gibberish,
and if I were to bother to re-read some manuals that I first ran into about
20 years ago I'd remember how to decode that into a picture again.
However, I've received pictures at home just fine from my father (Netscape
Mail on a Win98 OS), and this encoded text from work when I was running
WinNT, too. So it is something done on the sending end, I think. Is it
because I send messages in "Text Only" mode? I've understood that that is
more correct for email, because not all systems have attachment capability.
If this is so, I'll need to remember how to decode it at the other end.
But, perhaps someone on this list knows how to set KMail to do this
automatically. How about it? Anyone up to that challenge?
