2. Select the news message that contains the enclosure you want to download. To download multiple enclosures, hold down the Shift key while you select messages.

5. If a file that you receive from the Internet is compressed and encoded (for example, Example.sit.hqx), Internet Mail and News will unencode it for you, but you will need to have a program, such as Stuffit, to uncompress it.
