As I don't get the digest I had not realised that the list server does not decode base64 before putting it in the digest. It was only your message, and a direct message from forrest (peelpee...) that alerted me to the fact. I am writing *this* message in Outlook Express, but I have been trying out FoxMail 4.0 beta 2 by Zhang Xiaolong and foxmail.com.cn . This program has a number of very handy features, but I have not used the final release version because it's in Chinese! ;) Actually, so was the beta, but a friend (who has more time than me) was able to hack the beta back to English, but not so with the final version. The situation with FoxMail was that it insists on sending messages base64 encoded unless you selected UUencode, even if you turn off base64. As most FoxMail users probably send Chinese messages in Chinese characters this was not likely to be an issue. Mail servers normally decode a plain text or html base64 coded message back to plainly readable plain text or html when your server sends you your mail (or maybe when it stores or receives the message). I was using Foxmail because I move between a dozen networks and did not have a single computer that I exclusively would use for my personal e-mail while at work. Having found Foxmail with just about the richest feature set in a free e-mail client (integrated multiple account, remote mail management, etc. etc.) all in a tiny package that can fit on a single floppy disk and which can be run directly from a network folder (eg. mapped drive) without installation on a particular workstation, I also began using it on one of my computers at home! So... I am now back using Outlook Express (with appropriate security measures). I also just bought a new IBM ThinkPad, although my greatest computer ambition right now would be one of those beautiful (and fast) new iMacs (with the DVD writer in a thing the size and shape of a desk lamp! Or maybe the same deal in a twin processor PowerMac. Or the latest and greatest PowerBook! Ahh, but I digress.) Maybe my recent (and earlier) postings can be found in the archives of this forum, but I will restate (and improve upon) my most recent message (quoted below)! The improvement is that I will now offer an extra USD$5 off the price of the (one-only to first buyer) Online Bible Millennium Edition CD-ROM, making it USD$35 of e-gold this time only! :^) It's the least I can do, having inconvenienced you with base64 encoded messages in the digest! Yours faithfully, Ian Green Alpha Omega Computers Pty Ltd / aoShop.com http://two-cents-worth.com/?107242&EG See http://aoshop.com/aoshop/bible/features.htm for the details of The Online Bible program, and e-mail me to claim the Bible software.

Was Re: Dirty Hammers I agree with nearly everything you have written, Jim. :) I'm writing as someone who has never used e-gold in a Ponzi scheme, and I am also somewhat offended when someone suggests that e-gold is substantially a tool of fraud artists! I agree, e-gold is just "Better Money"! People of all sorts should be able to use money. People who commit fraud should be prosecuted regardless of which currency they received from their victims, and I agree that this should not reflect unfavourably upon any others who choose to use any particular currency, nor upon the currency itself. As a special offer to the first God-fearing* e-gold account holder who asks me for an Online Bible CD can have the Millennium Edition (2-CD set) for the (e-gold) equivalent of USD$40 for delivery by mail outside Australia or AUD$65 for delivery in Australia. (Payment only by e-gold to Ian Green e-gold account #107242 - otherwise add AUD$20 (and pay by Visa or Mastercard or Cheque / Check!)
