Well, the man pages did not come with the DOS distribution
files, the one that has only the metamail.exe. I donwloaded the
other distribution, but didn't have a program to untar the file.

Thanks. That may work. Right now what I did was comment out
the decode line Config and will save any message that has mime
content. Then using munpack I will decode them. This works.
Thanks for your help, will try those!
