Here's a run-down:
- Using MS Outlook 2002, I created a new e-mail and "copied" several
messages from my inbox into the new e-mail.
- I then fowarded the new e-mail with the attached messages to a web-mail
account (NetZero to be exact).
- Unfortunately, NetZero jumbled each of the individual attachments into one
huge .dat attachment which when opened with Notepad (or Wordpad, or MS Word)
literally contains hundreds of pages of what appears to be translated code .
.. . basically junk.
- Finally, I forwarded the same e-mail to my new cable internet account
which I use MS Outlook 2000 to read.
Bottom line, does anyone know of a way to make the original e-mail
attachments readable by Outlook 2000 after it's been "passed through" a
web-mail account?
Thanks so much.

Workaround: Use any of the three tools to decode the attachment.
