I think the problem may be that Word files aren't really MIME/APPL files or that they may have some weird formatting internally that tells LISTSERV to truncate the file before it's done reading it. One thing you can do is zip the file; that works fine with f=mime/appl. The other thing you can do is tell people to FTP it from our site :) Otherwise about all I can say is that we'll look into it. BTW I just tried a GET of a PDF with f=mime/appl and it worked fine, so I'm not sure what the problem was with whoever was asking about that. Nathan
