Attachments

[Chris]

I am using Outlook Express 6 for my News Reader, but when I go to any
newsgroups with video attachments OE opens the message with pages of garble,
but I cannot access the video attachment. How can I fix this to get the
attachments to NOT open in the text field of the message?

Chris,

This might help.

From OE's HELP.

To combine multipart messages

Sometimes, when a large message (one that contains pictures, audio files, or
other large objects) is sent in mail or posted to a newsgroup, it is broken
into smaller files and displayed as several messages. You can recombine the
messages to recreate the original message and display it in Outlook Express.

Select all of the messages that are part of the original message (each part
will usually have a number).

On the Message menu, click Combine and Decode.

If needed, reorder the parts in the correct sequence.

Note

After you combine and decode the message, it is displayed in a separate
window. The message will continue to be displayed in the message list as
several smaller messages. To save the recombined message, click the File
menu, and then click Save As.

Yea, I tried that, but it just made one HUGE email, and did not make a file,
just a huge message all garbled.
