Will, BinHex is the method Macintosh uses instead of UUencoding or Mime. I have the same trouble with Mime that Barb Mallet has, & I have never been able to figure out why, as I have a Compaq Presario & have no other trouble with my ISP except Mime. I finally figured a way around it, but it was a pain there for awhile. I got Kees picture without any trouble at all. Maybe my buttons are reversed? Don't laugh---on the first Microsoft Publisher the left & right buttons were reversed & I ruined a number of envelopes before I figured it out. Later, Microsoft admitted they were reversed & did fix them in the next version of Publisher. Which is why my W95 is uninstalled & sitting in the original box on my bookcase. I would rather do something else than be driven crazy by errors in software, & my brain won't just let me forget it. Either I have to conquer it or it conquers me---You win W95!!!!! Besides that, I'm a dyed in the wool File Manager user!!! I want to SEE what is going on.
