reading a Multi-part message

Question

reading a Multi-part message

I have received a message that was broken into two pieces. When I select one part of the message it says, "To read this message, select all of the parts of the message and select the Message --> MIME --> Combine Messages menu item." I select both parts of the message and go to the Message menu and there is no entry for MIME. Where/how can I find this option?

Welcome to the discussions, Newt.

When I select one part of the message it says...

Is this what is displayed in the message reading pane of the Mail window? Or is it some form of dialog box? If the former, then I suspect it is some form of attempt to do something nasty on a Windoze system.

Separately listed in your list of messages? Or one single item in the list?

I suggest you use View/Message/Raw Source to see what is actually in the message.

It is in the message reading pane of the Apple Mail application.

Or is it some form of dialog box?

Listed separately in the list of messages. I get the previously mentioned instruction to use the Message -> Mime -> Combined Message menu item if I chose just one of the two pieces of the message.

I suggest you use View/Message/Raw Source to see what
is actually in the message.
