It can be that you are using uuencode or base64-encoding. YOur pine-using friend might try to save the message as a hole using e)xport command. ZIt is to hope then that the package mpack is installed. With this package she then can try to decode the attachment. It might sometimes be needed to remove text and some headers. To find out if this works before doing it, see the headers (full headercomand "h", needs to be enabled in the pine-config as well) and see if you can find the x-encoding lines. They will tell you what is used. Ultimately, set something like "use mime encoding" in you windoz-mailer. > Sorry for asking an essentially Windows question, but this is the only place > where someone might know. > Thanks. > John > > Computers to Help People, Inc. > http://www.chpi.org > 825 East Johnson; Madison, WI 53703 > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > slainte mhaith (good health), slainte (cheers) Uisce Beatha (water of live/health) ----------- Andor Demarteau E-mail: ademarte@students.cs.uu.nl student computer science www: http://www.students.cs.uu.nl/~ademarte/ Utrecht University irc: see webpage for details ----------- Believe in yourself, know what you want, and make it happen!
