Thanks very much Guido. I'll give that one a try.

I too found the included mim.sl macro not really very useful. Also
metamail didn't work very well for me either. I couldn't get it to pipe
to lynx, so I gave it up.

At the moment I'm using slrnmime from here:
http://www.blacktrash.org/hg/slrnmime

It's working quite well, however I haven't tested it thoroughly yet.
It's not a macro but a python script.

Thanks again for your work. I'll give it a try.

Regarding GPG/SMIME and openpgp stuff I can always use another program on
the rare occations I may need to.
