Hi Brenda, A gif could be part of a signature that was in an HTML sig file. I think that html could be mail if you have your email program set to html.

I then say YES and was able to read garbage and text.... UNTIL THEN ITS OK... But now the problem is, if it's a problem, that the .DBX icon on ALL my OE folders has been changed for WORDPAD ones..... QUESTION : IS THAT A PROBLEM or NOT ???? and if yes how to correct that??? My OE is 5.50 on WIN-98 SE Good luck to BRENDA and thanks to answer me...
