Folks, this increase in MIME attachments is getting out of hand. People are reading this list on a variety of machines, from PDAs to Amigas to VT100s to Unix boxes to Windows.
I have a solution. I keep MIME turned off, and if the 7-bit representation of the message is not instantly recognizable as substantially English, I hit delete. Sometimes, if I am in a bad mood, I hit delete upon seeing the large "M" next to the message on the index, and don't even bother reading it. If the MIME infestation proliferates, this process can be automated. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:. Mathematical Munitions Division "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law"
