It could be that whoever sent you the message did something wrong.  I can't
imagine the MSN software doing something outside the MIME attachment
protocols.  America Online does "understand" MIME attachments.  I just
tested it on my own AOL account.  Or might I ask which version of AOL you're
using?  I know that AOL 5.0 and AOL 6.0 can handle MIME.

I'll send you an image of the Packard Bell "face" logo using a MIME
attachment.  It's only 14K and it should help you decide if something wrong
on your end or the other person's end.
