While we're on the subject:--

I have a more or less computer illiterate friend in D.C., an AOL 
subscriber.  Whenever I attempt to send her a Word (apologies for the 
bad language) file, either Word 98 or Word 5.1a, I get a plaintive 
reply from her to the effect that she couldn't open it and that AOL 
complained that I was sending her stuff in "MIME format".

Brian: Can you explain?
