The conversion has to do with attachments. When in transit, email is essentially a bunch of text. Any binary attachments sent in an email would need to be converted to a text format (UUencoding, Mime, Binhex, etc).
Ask the remote mail administrators which encoding types they support and set your IMC accordingly. ***************************** * Erik Sojka, MOS, MCSE * * Manager, Network Services * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ***************************** > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Staines [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 12:12 PM > To: MSWinNT Discussions > Subject: Mail Bounce > > > > one of my users is receiving this error.
