Hi Russell, Your e-mail is not in HTML format but is encoded either with base64 or some other encoding scheme (which I cant tell from my mailer 'cause I cant view the complete headers.) Looks like you are using Lookout Express. Make sure that in your Options/Send/Plain Text Settings, you have "None" selected for your Mime text encoding. Rest of the list, sorry for the BW. This is something that most people using Express on the sending and receiving end dont realize so you may want to take a moment to check that you are not encoding text using base64 or otherwise. Thanks, Shahid ---------- From: Russell McMahon[SMTP:apptech@CLEAR.NET.NZ] Reply To: pic microcontroller discussion list Sent: Saturday, May 08, 1999 11:35 PM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Bad email format? <>
