Jeff and/or Jean-Marie;
I wouldn't call your note with the included Word Document and Excel
Spreadsheet a mistake. It was a puzzle to be sure, but I had a hint as to
what had happened because a similiar thing happened to me a few weeks ago.
Your note had both documents in the body of the text, but they were
UUENCODED. To make them "whole again", just cut the "funny text stuff" out
of the text body and make them two separate text files --- one for the Word
Document and one for the Excel Spreadsheet. Then run each of then through
a UUDECODE utility. Of course if you don't have a UUDECODE utility you are
out of luck.
When this happened to me it was because I attached a message that had an
attachment to the message I was sending! Apparently, you can have only one
level of attachement.
Since I was able to UUDECODE both documents, I could post both of them back
in text form for you if you like. I found the Word Document a very good
summary of what to do if you have Vanagon Driveability problems. The
Spreadsheet would be more useful to a person who has the right diagnostic
tools.
