What do I have to do in order to decode mime?  My copy of outlook
doesn't work with newsgroups  (don't ask me why...) and my news-reader
decodes only binary attachment.

    Actually Outlook isn't supposed to, Outlook Express does. Don't ask me
why.

    What newsreader -are- you using? Maybe someone else uses it and can tell
you how to view images.

	Free Agent does not decode mime attachments. You have to save them and
then dig up a mime decoder to view them. 

	The alternative is to use another application such as the news/mail
reader with your browser to read this newsgroup.

    And, if you have Internet Explorer installed you've almost certainly got
Outlook Express installed - if you can't find it in your start menu try
looking in "\Program Files\Outlook Express\" for msimn.exe. Also, by running
msimn.exe with the /news command line option you can force OE to run just as
a news client (create a shortcut to msimn, right click on shortcut, select
properties, click on the Shortcut tab, add "/news" (without the speech
marks) to the end of the command line in the Target edit box (if the command
line is surrounded by speech marks, leave these in but put the "/news"
_after_ the final speech mark), click ok and now, when you launch that
shortcut, you'll get the news only version of OE).
