Not sure whats going on here. I seem to get two types of digests, one of which works fine.
The other has an attachment, which is a Notepad file titled "Start a new life .... dump Windows".
This digest is full of odd charachters like =3D=3D=3D=3D and when I click on a topic it takes me to the Google page for the group and informs me that the "Topic Can't be Found".
I'm useing OE6 and IE6.
Am I doing something wrong?

Some folks like to include tag lines in their posts that invoke this bug on OE)
For a news server try news.blueyonder.co.uk To access it try
