Hi gang - Actually this is just one thing among many, I am afraid - but I hope somebody will know exactly what is amiss and help me get untangled. I am experimenting with sending and receiving voice messages in an mp3 format. I get attached messages from a friend that my Pine program identifies correctly as "audio/mpeg" and I am able to just press enter and launch my mp3 player to listen to the file - no problem. However, when I prepare and send an mp3 file, here is what happens - Attaching the file to a Pine email message causes the outgoing file to be correctly identified as "audio/mpeg" but when it is received, even by myself, it is called "octet stream application" and I cannot launch the file player. If I "save" the attachment to a file and then launch the player manually all is well - the file is intact and sounds correct. How come I can correctly identify an outgoing file attachment, and yet the same file coming in is not correctly identified? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chuck.
