Forgive my ignorance Michael, I downloaded it now I can't find it! Maybe I
should have saved it first... I downloaded it again and saved it to my
documents, I didn't want to run it again until I find out where the other one
is.."Thanks."

It's an old program, but still runs under Windows XP. The main drawback
is that it doesn't support long file names. So if you go to decode an
attachment with a long file name it will stop and prompt you to enter a
short file name (8.3 format). And it may not help you with the message
text.

MIME, that means that the MIME message headers are corrupted.
(It's OK
to see that if looking at the Message Source).

Are you perhaps using SpamKiller? That program corrupts the MIME
headers in messages from Lotus Notes users. Other anti-spam

anti-virus programs scanning e-mail could potentially do the same
thing.

Another cause of this is messages forwarded from a mailing list

I suspect that you downloaded a ZIP file (e.g. WINCODE.ZIP). You need
to unzip it, then run the INSTALL.EXE file to install it. There is also
a readme .txt file
