Hi,
I have a question about messages in the list. Apparently some messages
are coded with mime? Or some other code. I am unable to read these
messages at all using Outlook Express.
I've tried changing parts of the Outlook Express Setup for mime settings
but to no avail.
Someone told me that your ISP has to be able to accept the messages in a
certain format as the ISP can strip out the mime and Outlook Express
won't be able to convert it.
Does anyone know what specific settings have to be changed in order to
see the coded messages?
Or what to ask my ISP to change in order to see the messages?
Thank you,
Frank McClendon
