Re: solution for attachments!

As a confirmation,  I read with PINE and can do nothing with attachments.
I have an archaic system that allows me to access a university system from
a remote terminal and that's about all.  I can also read Usenet but not
post!  One of these days I'll upgrade this system to Netscape and a pop
account, but until then...just plain e-mail.

For the WWW I use another account.
