Well, I used to work at an ISP and I do still work tech support for an email client. UUE is the old encoding in usenet (a lot of people use yEnc now), but the encoding of choice in email is still b64, which is only slightly more efficient than UUE. > On the other hand, I still don't understand what's happening with > Versamail. There's a setting that says Get: that I've set to Entire Sorry, there I cannot help. As I've mentioned before, I oh-so-rarely do email from my Treo. The screen is just too small and I use data a la carte so it would get real expensive real fast. :) -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol DISCLAIMER: The entire physical universe, including this product, may one day collapse back into an infinitesimally small space.
