	It's even worse than I remembered. When I try to insert the file as
text (Insert-File-File as text only-click on file name), nothing appears in
the E-mail text window of Outlook, and Outlook crashes (!). I then back out
of Outlook with Ctrl-Alt-Delete and End Program. (Now I remember why I quit
doing this some time ago.)

	BTW, the imported file in question is created with the old XyQuest
"printer driver" called mail.prn (as I mentioned, perhaps too briefly in
passing, in my earlier post).
