TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I am by no means an expert here but recently learned that there is no
standard in email message/attachment formats. Since there are several
different email/attachment formats and not all mail readers can decode
all the formats, you need a program like CoderPad to decode these
gobbledygook messages. Use one of the Web search engines and search
for CoderPad. I've used it once and it worked great.

Could someone provide some information about ftp and mail attachments
especially as it pertains to this List and other lists. I use MS Mail /
Win95. I see attachments in Lists as gobbledygook text. Any and all
suggestions appreciated.
