As of noon EST on Tuesday 9/17, Netcom is still corrupting large e-mails. It appears to make no difference whether the "large" is text of messages or enclosures (but thanks for trying, Scott!). Sure hope they get this fixed, because I'm still stuck back on 5.73, and was looking forward to 5.81 and the new master.dat file arrangement. 73, Pete Smith N4ZR n4zr@contesting.com ... and not changing!
