It happens moreoften now that people send mail with mime attachments (originating possible from netscape, M$ explorer) but 'conventional' unix mail readers like elm+mime, pine, mutt etc. cannot cope with these mails. Where exactly is written down how these mails have to look like? What is an easy methods to decode a Mime appendix at shell level once the mail was saved into a file? It happened to me that someone sent me a forwarded mail with a mime attachment and neither of the aforementioned readers could display/decode the attachment properly (didn't test M$ explorer). Only netscape was capable to show the attachment after I snipped the forward out of the mail. --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
