Hi,
I've had a problem with attachments sent from the Novell Groupwise
system at my workplace.
I don't work in the computer field, so please bear with me :-)
I have all of my workplace e-mail forwarded to my Netcom account,
which I can access from anywhere in the country. These messages
arrive as blank messages with text attachments (*.msg) which I
double-click to read.
However, occasionally someone sends a WordPerfect or Word document in
addition to the message. Using the Bat!, I still see a *.msg file,
with a size notation such as 30,000 bytes. However, double-clicking
the attachment yields an empty screen...no associated text message or
accompanying word processor file.
Now it gets confusing: If I forward the "blank" message to myself
from the Bat!, it arrives back to me as a text file with the huge list
of recipients from work, followed by the text message that was sent
(such as "here's the agenda for the meeting"), followed by a UUENCODED
section which is a *.doc file (the word processor document). This is
all in one big message.
Additionally, if I save as a text file that first *.msg file that my
workplace had sent to me, I can read it in a text editor; it appears
as described above, with a uuencoded section.
This doesn't seem to happen if I use Calypso to read mail; it happens
with the Bat!. I prefer to stay with the Bat!, however.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Mike
