Hello there,
This is the first time that I have used a newsgroup and I am very new at
using a computer so please bear with me.I am receiving a number of Emails
with attachments I can't read.When I open the attachment there is a lot of
code and a line that reads"MIME format". I am told this stands for
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions" whatever that means but nobody can
tell me how I can decode it so that I can read my Emails.
Is there anybody out there who can help?
PLEASE.
Regards
Kevin

Exactly what extension do these attachments have?
(MIME format can cover many formats)
