» ATT Reader

If your website has a mailto: form on it, then there is no doubt you will need this program. When IE5 users submit a mailto: form, rather then send it as readable text, as a nice browser would do, it sends you an attached file: POSTDATA.ATT. If you try to open it with your favorite text editor, you'll get something that looks a lot like this:

Name=End+User&Message=This+is+a+nice+example+of+a+ATT+file.
Well stop worrying. This program will take that junk and turn it into a readable text document. From there you can do whatever you want with it. This also works with any web-encoded CGI output.
