The Robinson and other list digests are NOT being sent as MIME
attachments--they are being converted into MIME attachments by AOL--this will
only affect those list subscribers who both receive digest mode and who are
AOL subscribers. Go to KEYWORD MIME while signed on to AOL and you will find
instructions on how to download free software to convert MIME messages. I
have found, however, that it doesn't always work well in decoding the MIME
files. I solved the problem by getting a second free web-based e-mail account
at Hotmail (or Mailcity--or any other free web-based e-mail program) and
getting my digests sent to that e-mail address instead of AOL. The other
services will not convert the long digests into attachments--thereby solving
the problem once and for all.
