Hi jukeboxjen,

I don't have the complete answer, but can help start the ball rolling. Mime
is an Internet standard that makes possible more complex messages beyond
simple plain text. Multi-part messages can be broken into smaller messages
that must be combined to complete the whole. I don't know if anything is
missing from the attachments you are receiving.

I'm using Outlook Express 6.0 with Windows XP/sp2.I'm getting mail from an
msn customer, and when I click on the attachment and save it all I get is a
LOT of symbols and SOME actual dialog. But there is nothing there after that
it says sent in MIME version 1.0 and then multi-part message in mime format
.. I KNOW he has sent saome funny stuff, but I can't see it.That is happening
with everything I get from that person.....whether is has been a video clip,
or jpgs, or whatever. How can I see these things?Thanks in advance
