This is the old unix way. If you want everyone (including windows users) to be able to decode the mail, you should use mime. This can be done with mpack: mpack -s <subj> -d <description_file> <file> <address> See man mpack, it comes in the mpack .deb package. My question: is there a way to send more than one file in a mail this way? HTH, Eric -- E.L.
