OK.  I'm pleading to tired to think straight on this one.. (both
portions).  Putting all the parts into the same folder should indeed allow
auto-decoding.  I'm not sure how the manual decode feature works, as I
just came across it the other day, and didn't put all the logical pieces
together until you mentioned it.  (You could say the auto-multi-part
handling failed in my brain.  <g>)  With a bit of sleep, I'm looking at
your post now, and wondering how I could have missed all that,
particularly the accumulate-in-same-folder thing.  <g>

Good work!
