	It's great!  Now, where's the app that will allow me to read all this
	info. or the procedure on how to unbundle the thing manually!  At
	least NewsGrazer was available before the first RTF postings were made!

	Come on Mark, I want to see/hear what's in your posting ...

	BTW, what AT&T system uses MIME?  I haven't seen or heard of anyone
	using MIME at an AT&T site!   8^(
