MIME (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions) MIME is an Internet standard for the transmission of data of any type via electronic mail. It defines the way messages should be formatted and constructed and has provision for indicating the type and nature of the contents of a message, and for preserving international character set information. MIME provides direct support for graphic images in GIF and JPEG format, Video images in MPEG format, and Audio data as well. It also has a Digest format for sending multiple mail messages at once (Pegasus Mail displays MIME digests in a manner very similar to a folder). Some mail will automatically handle incoming MIME messages without any intervention from you Steve. Generally your mail program can be configured to encode or decode MIME traffic. Your choice. Our moderator, Chris Thorpe, apparently configured the server to reject MIME encoded traffic, which is why the one from Rosemary Thorpe bounced. That's my guess anyway. Most listservs do not want binary attachments sent to them. Guess that means Chris does not want us sending photos of John to the list :) Wayne Renardson ------------------------------ End of good-noise-digest V3 #107 ********************************
