Oh -- maybe I was a little unclear there, James. I can download .ZIP 
files fine, it's the MIME attachments that I receive via E-Mail that are 
a problem. Sorry.


JM> IM> The About screen says "Netscape Communicator 4.61 for OS/2

JM> IM> - Version 4.61 [en]-000229".

JM> Ok, let me check that information here.

Oh! Is that how that works! [:) Seems pretty obvious when you point it 
out! [:)

Actually, I got this one from the IBM site. Uh... Developer Connection 
catalogue, maybe? I'm checking through my bookmarks here, but I can't 
remember exactly which site it was. It was the page that had the Feature 
Installer, the TCP/IP upgrade, the latest Java, etc.

If you can check out yours to see what it does with an E-Mail 
attachment, I'd appreciate it.

Take care and TTYL.
