It's a standard UUCP mailbox format, which basically is a text file formatted in a particular way. This is the way mail servers generally store mail, and the way most mail clients deal with mail since it's a long-established standard. Netscape and Microsoft have a long tradition of ignoring standards, so there's no telling what they do. I'd be very surprised if there is not way to open such a file in those programs, but I don't use them so I don't know what it would be. They have to support the UUCP mailbox format in some fashion, or they wouldn't be able to download mail from the vast majority of mail servers in the world. I know with eudora, you can simply open these files like any mailbox, since eudora uses the same UUCP format for its own mail files. I think most mail programs work that way. If Navigator and Outlook express can't do this, then you've got yet one more argument to add to the thousands already available for not using those programs for email. :-) kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ |
