Help needed....

[Therese D. O'Neil]

I received these two questions from a friend and do not kno w the
answers?

I know someone on this great list will assist.....you always do...thank
you in advance.
--------------------------------------------
1) How do I turn MIME on and off? What is MIME?

2) I recently upgraded to IE5.0 and with it I got Outlook Express
5.0.
I have tried to arrange my address book in alphabetical order (last name

first), but ever time I get into OE5 the address book reverts back to
alphabetical (first name first). Any help??

>1) How do I turn MIME on and off? What is MIME?

MIME (Mutipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) as defined in RFC (Request
For Comments) 1341 and revised by 2045, 2046, and 2047.
see http://info.internet.isi.edu/7c/in-notes/rfc

This freely available
specification that offers a way to interchange text in languages with
different character sets, and multi-media e-mail among many different
computer systems that use Internet mail standards.

MIME allows users to create and read e-mail messages containing:
- character sets other than ASCII
- enriched text
- images
- sounds
- other messages (reliably encapsulated)
- tar files
- PostScript
- FTPable file pointers
- other stuff

MIME supports not only several pre-defined types of non-textual message
contents, such as 8-bit 8000Hz-sampled mu-LAW audio, GIF image files,
and PostScript programs, but also permits you to define your own types
of message parts.

For how to turn off MIME in many different E-mail programs, see
