I'm having the same problem, some mime some not. How do I obtain Wincode
2.7.3? I have windows xp if that matters. I've done a lot of reading about
it and still don't understand! I too have outlook I'm told! "Thanks for the
help, I'm new at this."

I'm not using SpamKiller. However, it appears the MIME messages are from
persons who have established mail lists. The last MIME formatted message
that I received, it doesn't appear that any of the header information is
corrupted (I can read it fine, but the text is corrupted). Interesting note,
is that I received several separate messages from the same individual, and
some were received just fine, but others not. I'll have a read of your
tutorial, to see if that provides any answers.

MIME and plain text are not opposites. A MIME message may be in plain
text or HTML format. A Plain text message may be in MIME format or
Uuencode (non-MIME) Format.
Outlook Express supports all of them.
If in the normal message reading window you see the note that the
message is in MIME format and that your mail program doesn't support
MIME, that means that the MIME message headers are corrupted. (It's OK
to see that if looking at the Message Source).
Are you perhaps using SpamKiller? That program corrupts the MIME
headers in messages from Lotus Notes users. Other anti-spam programs or
anti-virus programs scanning e-mail could potentially do the same thing.
Another cause of this is messages forwarded from a mailing list that
doesn't support MIME.

Lately, I've begun receiving email messages from some individuals in
MIME
format. I've requested that they send me email messages in plain
text, but
that hasn't fixed the problem. Any thoughts on how to fix the
problem?
