In some groups (like 'warez') which contain illegal or copyrighted material poeple have caught on to the fact that by cancelling one part you can effectively cancel the lot, so sometimes there is a part missing for that reason. Otherwise, you extract the parts, join them up in the correct order, using the utility available in most decoders (certainly in UULite) and decode them. It ought to work. >Im using Netscape Communicator 4.05 on my mac It ought to work. But if it decodes automatically, note that multipart binaries don't always turn up in the right order. -- Peter
