Ärende: File formats
====================
    Hello Alan, nice talking to you !  

 AZ> Ummm...what's a *.mim file? This sometime Mac user has never (to my
 AZ> knowledge) created one or stumbled across one.

        Hey, if you do not know, how am I supposed to know ? In AOL,
   the unzipping of them is supposed to be possible but I get a wrong
   file format message when I try one. I have to ask Guy to resend in
   .pdf or .jpg format.

 AZ> The Mac has PDF-creation built in at the system level-- if Guy isn't
 AZ> aware of this, he should be-- it's one of the handier features of Mac
 AZ> OS X... and makes it possible to get around all these file format
 AZ> issues. 

        Copycats ! This has been in Word for ages,   humm ! I did not
   know, you pointed this out to me a few years back. The Adobe icon
   is on the word tool bar.

        I will try and give you a more intelligent reply as to what a
   *.mim is. At the moment, it does not come to mind.
     
        Here is what I found :

        MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) is a specification,
   or a set of guidelines,that software must use in order to work with
   other software. When you send an attachment with an e-mail message
   from AOL to someone over the Internet, MIME helps ensure that the
   recipient gets your attachment in a readable format -- whether it's
   graphics, sounds, or whatever you choose to send.
 
        On AOL, all you do is click Attach on your e-mail form, and the
   AOL software automatically does the rest. Likewise, when you receive
   a MIME-encoded attached file from an Internet address, the AOL
   software will decode the file for you -- invisibly and automatically.
   The AOL software is what is known as MIME-compliant. As long as your
   correspondents also have e-mail software that is MIME-compliant
   (and most email software is), you can swap files.

        I am sure that you knew this.

   Is FIDO not a fine institution ?
             I have to get my fix everyday.
