Well, maybe the problem lies on the Mac end of things....


I just found using my Eudora on the Mac that if I select "Always as Mac
documents" under Switches, the attachments / enclosures get through intact
to NUPop and are happily decoded, when sent as binhexed files.


A GIF image and a Word doc. went through OK.

And I had "decode binhex files" checked...


So I've learnt something, but will I remember it?

I would have thought NOT top select "always send as Mac documents" in
Eudora. I need to STUDY those manuals.


Again, what was the Mac mailer of the original poster to this discussion?

Pity the naive user, including me!!

Regards

Geoff R
