I have been using qpopper, which can be found at ftp.qualcomm.com. It works fine on a number of systems; one of them is BSD/OS 2.1. (It probably does other versions too, but I haven't tried it.) But it isn't a replacement for sendmail. You get something like Eudora (from Qualcomm, oddly enough :) for the PC or Mac. It calls the pop server to fetch the mail, and the SMTP server (i.e. sendmail) to send mail. By decoding problems, do you refer to MIME attachements? If so, you probably want to concentrate on the PC end of things. Mark S.
