Subject: Re: sending and receiving an .exe file
Your idea would be good except that I am working in linux most of the time
and using a program called fetchmail to get my messages from y various
isp's. Usually, I have fetchmail delete messages from the server when it
delivers them to me. So unless I knew exactly when the message was
coming, I could not do this. Besides, I seem to be having some kind of
problem getting it back in the right form even from Nettamer, though I
only tried this after forwarding back. Thanks for the idea, though. I
probably failed to do this correctly in some way because this was my first
experience of this kind with Nettamer; I really don't use it regularly any
more, but still find it helpful as an extra method of collecting mail or
accessing the Internet.
