For reading mail on my OpenBSD systems I use mail on the local system. However I have my systems configured to forward all my accounts to a single account on one system. On that system I use either mutt or pine. When I want to send an e-mail with a MIME attachment from the command line or in a script I use "mailit" from Chuck Gagnon. He posted about it here, http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-03/2792.html and it is available from here, http://homepage.mac.com/gagnocg/downloads/ . > Do you download metamail and/or mpack from ports? > Do you use a different email client like nail, nmh, or pine? nope, yes, mailit > Why isn't there a MIME encoding/decoding solution in the default install? > (Or maybe there is, but I'm ignorant of it?) What part of the default install requires the use of a MUA that supports MIME attachments? diana Past hissy-fits are not a predictor of future hissy-fits. Nick Holland(06 Dec 2005)
