Sorry everyone who got that message MIME-encoded. No, there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. I'm currently working only with my ISP's webmail client (the landline to my home has been down for three weeks) and there are NO settings I can change. Most mail clients SHOULD be able to decode MIME, but no, I don't know how to make yours do it.

Anyway, drat! Pierre thought that the word 'hylism' "[s]ounds like a non-Hellatine word for materialism." Well, calling it non-Hellatine is the only place he got it wrong:

 . . . . \Hy"lism\, n. [Gr. ? wood, matter.] (Metaph.) A theory which regards matter as the original principle of evil

Ranjit's MIME fictionition gave me a grin, too.

 . . . . Tm8sIEkndmUganVzdCBi (n.) - (1) Among the ZWVuIGJ1c3kgYXMgYWxs, a common
 . . . . IGdldC1vdXQuIEFwb2xvZ2llcyBmb3IgdGhl or IGRlbGF5Lg0KDQpUaGUgbm (see also
 . . . . V4dCB3b3JkIHdpbGwgYmUNCiAuIC4gLiA)

So, let's try for a new HY ...

 . . . . HYEMAL
