Lon,

There has been some discussion about the mime type of the image you
sent.  It came to me as an RTF.  Someone else reported the same.
If that isn't what it was, then you might want to look at how the
file name and type ended up being an RTF.

Of course, attaching a 6.2 MB file to an e-mail, especially on a
mailling list, is a very bad idea.  Never mind that it took about 10+
min to download from my POP mailbox, it puts unnecessary load on
the mail server, as well.

Please post attachments on some web space and put the URL in your
e-mail.  That way those who want it can get it easily without
attaching it.

Wade
