He's mailing his messages using MIME - which is typically used for mailing attachments. Some mailers (including Netscape 4) send out all their mail in MIME encoded form (unless told not to). To decode the messages, the best bet is to use a mail program that understands MIME. Failing that, you can use mimedecode (from the mimedecode Debian package) to decode it. Cheers, - Jim
