We seem to have multiple places in the net where characters are getting
chopped-out of emails. :(((

The number '2' was missing from the 1st 3 mime.cfg
lines in the received email.

I'll now split the lines myself so that they might get through intact.

These 4 lines are used for 'remote files'.

application/zip ZIP>TXT|[300]
echo Press F2 now to save the ZIP anywhere you like,
 with any name you like.>$2\necho .>>$2\nunzip -l -v $1>>$2

application/x-zip ZIP>TXT|[300]
echo Press F2 now to save the ZIP anywhere you like,
 with any name you like.>$2\necho .>>$2\nunzip -l -v $1>>$2

application/x-zipped ZIP>TXT|[300]
echo Press F2 now to save the ZIP anywhere you like,
 with any name you like.>$2\necho .>>$2\nunzip -l -v $1>>$2

application/x-zip-compressed ZIP>TXT|[300]
echo Press F2 now to save the ZIP anywhere you like,
 with any name you like.>$2\necho ..>>$2\nunzip -l -v $1>>$2

And as you discovered... this line is used for all 'local files'.....

file/.zip >TXT|[300]
echo Press F2 now to save the ZIP anywhere you like,
 with any name you like.>$2\necho ..>>$2\nunzip -l -v $1>>$2
