It looks like we should be able to remove the mail/metamail dependency
for comms/hylafax. I suspect that the metamail support isn't even tested
anymore, so this is probably an improvement.

Where are you seeing a metamail dependency that cannot alternatively use
uuencode, or base64-encode (or something else)?

The metamail support is there merely because HylaFAX has been around a very
long time and was used on systems where metamail was the encoding tool.

Thanks,

Lee.
