Re: sending files from the cmd line...

There is a Standard Tcl Library "mime" package that can assemble mime
messages.  Obviously, all the exmh machinery predates this.  I haven't
played with it much, but if you go to SourceForge /projects/tcllib
you can download the latest. It goes something like

package require mime

set part1 [::mime::initialize  \
	-canonical text/plain \
	-string "Hello, this is a text part"]
set part2 [::mime::initialize -canonical text/plain -file somefilename]

set multipart [::mime::initialize -canonical multipart/mixed \
	 -parts [list $part1 $part2]]

There are lots of ways to set other headers, and you'll need to use
something to generate the base64 or uuencode format.  You can set
the content transfer encoding with the mime package.

nmh
     to do what we want? Basically add options to not do tar and not do 
partial
      deliveries.
