It would help if you mentioned which version of elm you are using. See what happens when you do 'elm -vv' ... do you see a line that says Support Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions: MIME ? If not, you need to recompile elm from the ports collection. It's probably time for an update anyway. Stick with the default compilation options, and be sure to remove any elmrc, elm.rc files you may have laying around in /usr/local/lib and your ~/.elm directories (better that they be recreated). Newer versions of elm contain partial MIME support built-in, and message parts with unrecognized MIME types are passed to metamail. Older versions of elm just pass every MIME message to metamail (if the MIME configuration option has been compiled in). If you have metamail installed, you can pipe any message to it by typing '| metamail' at the message selection screen in elm. If the attachment you're trying to look at is just an rfc822 message, you can probably just '| more' or whatever your favorite pager is and look at it that way. If you don't have metamail installed, it's in the ports collection. - Mike ______________________________________________________________________ Mike Brown / Hyperreal | Director, Hyperreal Music Archive PO Box 61334 | http://www.hyperreal.org/music/ Denver CO 80206-8334 USA | Software Engineer, www.netIgnite.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
