The issue is that the 'attachment' is not being sent as a separate MIME part. It is just a uuencoded file that is included as part of the text/plain message. There is no Mailman setting to see it as an attachment. I would say that any MUA/mail client that sees it as an attachment is brain dead and should be put out of it's misery, but that would be unkind. You have to set Outlook to send MIME attachments rather than uuencoded. Unfortunately, a nagging feeling arises from the dusty recesses of my mind saying that selecting 'uuencode' for 'attachments' instead of MIME is a workaround for not otherwise being able to send plain text rather than HTML, but I have no direct knowledge of Outlook and how to configure it. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
