Though many modern mailers can handle uuencode as well as mime, I'm a bit reluctant to send uuencoded stuff to folks whose computer skills are unknownv to me. So I need to go mime, but I haven't found an equivalent script thing. sendfiles(1), an nmh thing, tars up things and chops them into partial messages. The support for handling _that_ at the other end is close to zero :-( /Anders
