I am having a problem viewing my attatchments sent from Netscape e-mail 
on a PC, to my Pine account on a Mac, all i get when i try to view them 
are a bunch of wierd characters? Do i have some kind of configuration 
problem, or is my PC's POP3mail via netscape just not able to talk to my 
MAC's Pine program? I realize this is not very detailed, please forgive 
me, im still a rookie. If someone can help me resolve this problem, 
please respond. Thank you :)

Jeff

What kind of "wierd characters" Weird as in "binary file" or weird as in
HTML document? If it's a binary, you don't have an application to view the
attachment (i.e. e.g. Word to view a Word document). If it's HTML, you have
to feed it to your Web Browser. Check the extension of the attachment and
get the appropriate application.

Have a nice weekend.
