Subject: Corrupted Attachments

I am having a strange thing happen to me and just know that there is
someone on the Net with an answer.  

I am able to attach a Word Perfect file to an e-mail message and send it
to a secretary here on the same campus but when I try to do the same thing
to another of our campuses the attachment appears as if it had uunencoded.
 It is totally useless.  Any thoughts on what the devil's going on.  

Frustrated in Brampton.

Up thumb, Paul

This is explained in Pine's m)ain ?)help text. The recipient at the other
site uses an older mail reader that doesn't conform to the MIME standard.
Tell them to use one of the products listed in the FAQ of comp.mail.mime.
