Well. I found another SMTP server which could manage 8-bit encoding, firs= tly using the SMTP at my college but it was too slow (I guess the message hat= to go via satellite to Miami and back to Bogot=E1 before the SMTP put it on Internet as a Mail mesage, finding its way to Brown University and then t= o all our recipients). Fortunately there was many mail-enable Internet conected Unix machines in the LAN at work and I've just tried different address until I finnally found one that could manage 8-bit encodings. (I had tried all MIME and UUencode configurations hopelessly, only changi= ng SMTP was a solution) -- Carlos Th
