<blush> I just looked at info and yes, it does support MIME. It works okay in that it calls metamail which may lanch another window to display the text and push the files into the /tmp directory. Metamail seems like the right tool for me to use from the command line, though (thanks dman) but I have a hard time remembering the command to un-do mime; I think "mimedecode" or "mi..." something. There is a packaged entitled mimedecode but it just pushes data to stdout as opposed to making a file with the right name. Thank you everyone! Elizabeth
