Hi!
Anyone here know why this message got to the list in mime format?
I've never sent anything to the list in mime and don't know how even
if I wanted to. Could this have somthing to do with my net provider?
They had a melt-down of their hard drive on monday, and just got back
up-running yesterday.
Thanks-Gary
