MIME problem

[be404@yfn.ysu.edu (Adalbert Goertz)]

I get message from AOL people which are MIME (base64) encoded and which
cant be decoded on my //GS. Apparently MIME encode is the AOL default.
When I tell these  people to change to uuencode, they dont know what I am
talking about. Any suggestions what to tell them?
