Fedora dropped it long ago (I think >in early 2006 or so); I'm currently using a sheel script instead that >is based on GNU recode... So I took a look at that ... the whole PACKAGE doesn't build right, but if you untar it, change into src/metamail, and do "make mmencode", it builds fine. It looks like the issues are: either mmencode needs a home, or we need to switch exmh to a package that is more recent than the first Clinton administration. It occurs to me that mmencode could have a home in nmh (well, I guess exmh uses "mimencode", but same thing really). Although I see exmh can use recode if available. Maybe this is a non-problem? --Ken
