uuencode predates MIME. Although there are MIME types defined for it, the base-system tools don't handle the MIME headers or section marking. For this purpose, a MIME-aware tool (such as ripmime, or metamail, or mmencode) will be much more useful as part of an automated filtering system. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
