The .doc section has come as part of the body of the email and not as an attachment. Had it been a normal attachment I would have done as you suggested and not had to bother anyone. Picture the encoded .doc section starting after this text. As far as I have been able to figure this is from emailing a file from within MS Word. -- Regards, Rob Unsworth Ipswich, Australia -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
