Most juno servers are text only unless you upgrade it to 5.0 Then you have the option of html. But all programs with the .exe type will be in attachments that sometimes can't be opened until you save it. At least that's what I picked up, having Juno myself. You succeeded :) Can't be much safer with Juno then NOT to open that stuff. :) lol Hopper (*_*) On Tue, 15 May 2001 08:51:48 -0400 Tara writes: > I don't know much about juno... do you get e-mail in html, or is it > text > only?
