OK, makes sense, to be honest I get so few encoded mails I just run
them through munpack and look at them later.

If I get the time I might have a look at gotha mail which is a windows
mailer for KA9Q that you can allegedly use at the same time as ka9q is
running, online, in a different window.

Finding DOS viewers can be a real pain though.
