Subject:      Re: text only, and transmission question

I've just gotten a new computer, and think I have everything set for text
only when using outlook express, my main mail program.  I occasionally need
to use hotmail, however.  I cannot find anywhere in there to set (or even
check) for MIME or text formats.  Can someone give me a clue on that, and
verify that this program is indeed in text form.

A Vanagon question...I have an 84 automatic.  The seals between the
transmission and final drive began leaking.  I removed the transmission and
changed the seal (leaving the final drive in the van).  I refilled the
transmission and it is still slipping badly on the shifts.  I thought I'd
drain it and refill again to dilute the remainder of the gear lube that was
sucked into the tranny.  There is obviously no way to drain all of the fluid
because a large amount remains in the torque converter.  Ideas, anyone?

Thanks on both parts.
