I had looked at it before and managed to see a number of strings which made me think it wasn't compressed, but I've just tried lxlite and it did uncompress it and now sendmail.exe is clearly visible. > Dave -- John **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Thu, 09 May 2002 18:29:17 +1000 From: Michael Taylor Subject: Re: How does Mutt call Sendmail?

It was probably linked with the EXEPACK option. I remember that Fortify (added encryption to Netscape) used to have instructions on how to un-exepack the Netscape executable. -- Regards, Mick -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Taylor miket at pcug.org.au ----------------------------------------------------------------- Home Page: http://www.geocities.com/miket5au/ http://users.bigpond.net.au/miket5au ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Thu, 09 May 2002 18:59:36 -0800 From: "Dave and Natalie" Subject: Re: How does Mutt call Sendmail?
