Pine Attachments/Macintosh

Before you begin:

Fetch (the file transfer program) is available on all the Macintosh computers in the Information Room and in the CRL.

It is best if you know what type of file you are receiving and what version of the application it was created in (for example, a word document created with Office 97 or an Excel spreadsheet created with Excel 5 for the Macintosh). If you send an attachm ent make sure that you inform the recipient what the file is, and the application (and version) that you created it with.

Receiving Attachments

Use Fetch to move the file to a floppy.
