- Both Word and Excell files can be opened without one of those
- %blah files associated. In fact, on my NeXT, I standardly use
- Opener to de-binhex Eudora mail, ad the .msw or .xl to the
- file name (there's a panel that tells who who created the file
- so you know what it is), then just double click on it and let
- Executor take it from there.
-
- I recall it works just fine the other way, too; binhex just the
- main file (ignore the %thing) then paste it into a mail window
- and send it. {I always edit the line endings of the first "(This
- file must be..." line to be two newlines instead of the CRLF or
- whatever binhex puts there; don't know if I have to, though}.
