More communications problems. My unix system doesn't seem to handle MIME
attachments very well: it recognizes that they are there but cannot
translate them. So I tried to save the file and edit out the email parts
so that I could use an image program.
The difficulty: the attachments did have anywhere in them the sequence
'GIF87a' or 'GIF89a' which must be at the beginning of any GIF file. I
conclude that the attachments were not simply GIF format. Do MIME
attachments use some sort of compression?
