It Dosn't

Worked Like a charm!!
Thank you Very much!
When sent like this it sends the file in a format that Netscape can
understand and I get the file intact.
I suppose if i get some software for windows that will reassemble a mime
text file, I will be able to use the split messages. I don't think i
will need this for a while yet. Thanks again!
