The file may have an extension of .txt and it may appear to contain only text when you open it with Wordpad, but Wordpad's default file format is binary, i.e., not ASCII text. Open the file with Wordpad, choose "File/Save As" from the menu, change the "Save as Type" setting to "Text Document" or "Text Document - MS-DOS Format", then save the file. -- pdr On Thu, 21 Sep 2000 17:11:24 -0400, Michael Hensley <[log in to unmask]> wrote (in part): > >Yet this file is a .txt file, created in WordPad with all formatting >stripped and each email address on a single line.
