This version of emacs does not interpret MIME-encoded mail when under windows, but simply displays it as an ASCII message. (When I first try and read mail, the status line says "feature rmail-mime not supported"). That's normally ok, but sometimes I actually want the byte-stream or .gif (etc.) data. Doing rmail-resend and reading the resent mail with another mail reader (such as Netscape) used to work but it doesn't anymore. (I don't remember what caused that to first fail, probably the upgrade to 21.1 from whatever I used before.) I believe there's a DOS utility that pulls apart MIME but I have no idea what it's called or where to find it. Does anyone know if either 1) I can get Windows based emacs to interpret Mime or 2) there is a DOS-based utility around to pull apart these messages (and eliminate the character-based line endings that emacs inserted)? Thank you in advance, Craig Smilovitz craig@theworld.com
