Re MSWord attachments that weren't

" Sorry to disagree with you, but the attached files were PURE ASCII files.

	True, but some programs react to mime and that
	extension, and therefore I don't open the file
	attachment to see machine code that messes up
	the display.

	Thank you for a clean message, Mr. Buschman. I've encountered
	far worse things where a simple 400 byte message
	ballooned to a 40 Kbyte attachment when send by
	mail.

	It was a suprise to see TTG messages saying, on
	my side of the SMPT, the message is
---- QUOTE ---
This message contains data in an unrecognized format, application/msword,
which can either be viewed as text or written to a file.

What do you want to do with the application/msword data?
1 -- See it as text
2 -- Write it to a file
3 -- Just skip it
----- END QUOTE ----
	
	At least no one has tried to send the full U.S. OIC report
	("The Starr REport") to this list and then have others
	quote in reply. Ugh.

	I have saved the XY-install notes and wonder if there is a
	particular set for OS/2 or Linux as well?
