I recall getting bin-hex attachments as multi-part e-mail. That is, multiple messages for one attachment. E-mail then was *just* e-mail. You had to save the messages, bring them up in an editor (*just* an editor), strip the e-mail header from each part, concatenate the messages together, and then find a decoder. Anybody else remember "POPMail"? Mac and PC, IIRC. -- // A.
