Date: Tue, 29 Aug 1995 14:26:58 -0400 From: Janice Kramar <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Reading download files AOL has changed the way that mail is processed. The old way was that long incoming files were broken into smaller pieces of approx. 28Kbytes. So, that your mail directory had files named : #1(3) Parkinson Digest - 5 Aug 1995 #2(3) Parkinson Digest - 5 Aug 1995 #3(3) Parkinson Digest - 5 Aug 1995 The new approach is to create a file containing only the first segment and then download the complete mail text file into a different directory, Online Downloads. So your mail file in the "Online Mail" directory looked like this : Parkinson Digest - 5 Aug And in the "Online Downloads" directory there would be a file Parkinsn.txt This textonly file "Parkinsn.txt" can not be read any light weight word processing application, like "SimpleText" I use MS-Word 4.0 word processor to read the file "Parkinsn.txt". Lots of Luck... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jon D. Stedman -> < [log in to unmask] > 1201-92 Sycamore Terrace Sunnyvale, CA 94086 408-247-6562 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
