Here's one of many places that you can get Wincode

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...scription.html

It's an old program, but still runs under Windows XP. The main drawback
is that it doesn't support long file names. So if you go to decode an
attachment with a long file name it will stop and prompt you to enter a
short file name (8.3 format). And it may not help you with the message
text.

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

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

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?
