Subject: Upper ASCII and UUENCODE

Some readers may be interested in knowing that under certain
circumstances it is possible to send upper ASCII characters, i.e.
accented characters, Macintosh documents, graphic characters, etc.,
through E-Mail. I accidentally discovered that our mail system on the
VAX automatically UUENCODEs attachments containing at least one upper
ASCII character sent with E-Mail from our 3Com (DOS based) 3+Mail
server. The largest file sent and then UUDECODEd to check it integrity
has been 130K.

Subject: Scientific American Issue

I received this morning the September 1991 issue of Scientific American.
It is a special issue devoted to "Communications, Computers, and Networks",
subtitled "How to Work, Play and Thrive in Cyperspace". Less technical
than their usual stuff and from an initial examination definitely a must
read for anyone interested in the net.
