I have a Word97 file that I am sending from AOL to my Internet account.
	I use Eudora Pro for all my Internet Email.
As it turns out, the Word97 file appears to be a 7-bit ASCII file,
not a binary image - therefore it appears as TEXT to the AOL Emailer.
I of course would like it to stay as an attachment...

I also tried this with sending CONFIG.SYS as an attachment.
Same results - 'embedded' vs 'attached'.

When I send it to myself on AOL, it comes thru as an attachment.
When I send it to my outside Internet account - 
It comes thru as 'embedded text', not as a MIME attachment.

here is how the msg + attachment appears when sent from AOL
to an Internet mailer.
Notice that MIME is nowhere to be found - 
Only PLAIN/TEXT is used as encoding -

tnx for the response - 
but I don't think you interpreted my msg correctly.
