Re: Binary files

Dear Rolnik,
www4mail will only assume text or ascii file when you use the GET
or SEND command. I guess that you requested for the file using get
http://.... or send http://....

For downloading binary files, do not use any option or if you must use an
option try XGET

Thanks
Clement
