OK, I know that everyone on the planet (well almost) has asked this question, but NONE of the answers I found ACTUALLY answer my problem, and I've scoured the web for two days..... I can SUCCESSFULLY attach images, plain text, binaries, etc to a mime email, and transmit and recieve them. _however_ when the file attached is a MSword doc Content-type: application/msword the file DOES transmit, but cannot be opened in WORD at the receiving end, even though it is right size, and can be saved to disk and has "chmod 777" permissions. Please please please can someone tell me whats happening so I can fix this really annoying pain in the *** problem :-) many thanks in advance richard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
