Subject: HELP!! Can't send e-mail to Mac

Need advice on sending e-mail with file attachment from a PC platform to 
a Mac platform.  I am using a 286 with DOS.  The e-mail reaches the 
destination but not the uploaded file.  I am told I should cut and paste 
the file content into the e-mail message, but I don't think I can cut and 
paste with 286 DOS.  What about converting the file - a WordPerfect 5.1 
file - into a DOS file or TEXT file?  How would I do that?  Any other 
suggestions?

Thanks,
Sheldon

I dunno why the attachment shouldn't arrive, but if you want to convert the WP51
file to a straight text file, I'd suggest the following steps:

1. In WP, set your margins/font so the lines wrap before the edge of the screen.
2. Use CTRL-F5, T, S to save the text as a straight text file.

Then you can use Pine's CTRL-R command to read the file directly into the
message you're composing.
