-----------------------%<---e-n-d-------%<-----------

Now the problem is that PINE didn't recognize the MIME part, and I ended 
up with 6 PART messages in base64 :(  Any suggestions?  Is this an 
incomplete MIME implimentation by somebody?  IBM?  you?  I don't know?  
please help.

Somehow I am sending messages like the above using Pine.  It happens when
I read in a file [^R] which I have uploaded from my DOS PC to the Unix
workstation where I have my Internet account.  After that at the end of
every line there is ^M (which acts like _one_ character if I try to delete
it.  If I e-mail it others see it as above and forward it to me to show 
me. 

Could it be that the ^M toggles MIME?  (I don't even know what MIME is :) 
.)  The work-around I'm using to use uploaded files is to send them first 
to myself after including them. They come though fine, then I forward the 
message to the real recipient (first removing the header).

Thanks for any help.

Some versions of Pine (e.g. 3.87) will trigger BASE64 encoding on a ^M.  Pine
3.89 is much less sensitive in that regard....

Thanks.  Looks like my hunch was right.  Now to get my site to upgrade to 
3.89... (I'm guessing we have 3.87)
