In fact you have received at least the first part of the MP3 file you requested. However, the message you sent to the Gophermail server specified that you would receive the file in 60K divisions. If your e-mail provider allows it, you should send to receive the whole file instead of small 60K parts; the command for this is: "Split=0K" Secondly, the message you received back shows that the file sent to you was in Base64/MIME format. There has to be software installed somewhere on your computer terminal for such a format to be correctly interpreted visually. Apparently such software is not installed on yours. Hoping that you don't mind, I'm sending a copy of this to the Accmail mailing list for further comment.

I request twice with different chunk size and the }result }zip files are exactly same,could you tell me why and how? thanks! } }------------------------------ It looks normal, however, it appears to be an "old style" UU encoded format. Some decoders have problems with these IF the lines get trailing spaces removed. Most modern decoders will automatically space-fill the short lines. There are also some utilities that will "repair" the file. Current encoders use the character '`' in place of a space to prevent truncation of lines. You did remove the end line from the re-encoded first part? After decoding the part that you quoted, I have one question: What is a .cxt file? 8-} -- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jerel. --- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 20:56:30 -0400 From: "Servio T.

Boyd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Possible loss of postings Accmailers, Yesterday afternoon I tried to update my M$ Internet Explorer to version 5. Well, after successfully downloading and configuring the system requested that I reboot. Well you can imagine what happened -- Explorer.exe error -- system dead. Rescue disk didn't work. Safe reboot didn't work. Multiple reboots --zilch. So I had to resort to reinstallation from Win 98 CD this morning. Meanwhile, I decided to fire up my old 486 OS/2 box. Guess what? The telephone number had changed. No big deal you say. Well after reconfiguring my OS/2 dialer, lo and behold -- no connection to Netcom. It seems there was a change in the logon sequence. Thought I never would get it figured out. Finally, got on with OS/2 and received some mail. Finished Win 98 re-installation and got on to Netcom to retrieve the rest of the mail. So why the story above? Well, it's looks like I either missed mail, didn't approve all postings or some such. I may be all wrong and received all approvals -- but if something you posted didn't appear -- please resend. All I can say is, I'm really getting tired of the crummy M$ software. I sure hope OS/2 gets an upgrade soon so I can go back... -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 12:18:53 JST From: Lee ChengYu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: I can't access this site http://www.angelfire.com/ma/AK1/main.html I can't access this site http://www.angelfire.com/ma/AK1/main.html Where was it moved?

Some times the list owner may take a few days to get around to processing these. In short, if it takes over a week, then there may be a problem. Less than that, and it could be just a busy list owner. I have seen times when a list owner has gone out on vacation, and may take almost a month to catch up, though this is rare. -- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jerel. --- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 20:41:04 -0800 From: "Gerald E.
