I downloaded and upgraded to v0.80 yesterday and thought it was working just fine until this morning when I tried to attach (^c-^a) my first Word doc. When I did that, I got the following during encoding: Fri Mar 05 10:51:29 1999: Error while decoding: (args-out-of-range ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/ 671) Fri Mar 05 10:51:29 1999: Encoding base64... Fri Mar 05 10:51:29 1999: Sending... (from my *Messages* buffer) (I haven't figured out yet why I'm getting a decoding message during encoding.) I can send the message after the error displays, but the resulting attachment decodes to a much smaller file that is garbage (as near as I can tell). I also get the error attaching BMP files and pretty much anything non-textual. I do not get this error attaching text or html files and I can decode them just fine. In all cases I can successfully decode binary attachments sent to me from, for example, Outlook. I asked Jack Vinson to try this as well -- he doesn't get the above message but he also got garbage when he tried to decode the attachment out of his GCC folder (Word locked up on him -- it simply refused to display anything to me). Does this ring any bells? Is this working for anyone on the list using v0.80 with NTEmacs? Since no-one else has complained about this, I'm assuming that this is specific to Windows (I suspect that we're a sad minority of pgnus users :-) -- Work: Alfred.Correira@GlobeSet.Com PH: 512.427.7715 Home: Correira@Flash.Net FAX: 512.427.5101 PGP: 55 42 BB 2E 17 E9 0D 9C 0B 51 66 58 58 96 1E 45 --- Moderation in principle is always a vice. -- Thomas Paine (The Rights of Man)
