Blettcchh!!!!

Where do you commonly run into all these stream_lf format files?  From
Unix systems, I imagine?

Something about this whole problem has me wondering where I put my barf bag.

Problem solved (well, worked around).  Warning:  Do not try mailing
Stream_LF files larger than 2047 characters (you were right, Glenn).
It does not convert them, and then the MAIL$gobbledygook files that
get created have counted record format, but the data is still lines
seperated by linefeeds!  The 29,xxx figure is hexadecimal 7246 = 'Fr'.
The first line of all these files is "From..."  Get it?  ha, ha.
