Dean: Dr. Wooley seems to be the only person who receives garbage when I
post messages. I am using MIME format, and Windows Messaging for reading
and sending e-mail. Please let me know two things, 1) Is there any
gibberish following this message and 2) did you get two copies as the
Wooley Mammoth also claims? Thanks for your help. Ron

I suspect that the seemingly meaningless characters in the postings that
keep popping up (see below) represent an attempt of one e-mail program to
send an attachemtn to another e-mail program, the problem being that the
second e-mail program does not understand the protocol that the first
program is using. I have not seen the seemingly meaningless characters show
up on my e-mail program. Therefore I suspect that my e-mail program can
read
the attachment whereas dr. Woolley's e-mail program cannot.

By the way, there are at least four coding protocols for e-mail
attachments.
The problem arises because e-mail uses 7 bit bytes (the lower 128
characters
in ASCII), transmitting all messages as text. Hence, if a file using 8 bit
bytes is to be sent, it must be converted from 8 bit bytes to 7 bit bytes.
The protocols most frequently used are:
- UUENCODE/UUDECODE (UU stands for Unix to Unix -- this was the original
coding scheme)
- BinHex (Used on Mac's)
- MIME (Multiple Internet Mail Extensions -- rapidly becoming the internet
standard)
and
- Base64 (Used by GroupWise and Netscape Navigator and possibly other
systems -- a subset or variation of MIME, I believe)
