	The other problem that you have is that you're sending HTML
formatted messages.  You should probably turn that off, as it only limits
the ability for many people to read your messages.

	As to the "tar -x" problem, I have a suggestion.  The tar program
is built for Tape ARchives and likes to use tape drives.  You're probably
trying to use it with a file, though.  If so, try something like "tar xvf
file.tar" or, in the case of compressed archives, "tar zxvf file.tar.gz".

						Good luck,
