The MIME presentation worked OK with my mail user-agent, EXMH. It was a good
deal more ugly and clunky than if you had simply embedded the URLs for the
same files in your message. EXMH would have recognized and highlighted the
URLs, and if I clicked on them it would have started Netscape to follow
This mechanism, while it might be convenient for some people, looks
very noisy for people without mime support.
I'd recommend that there be a new mailing list to support this kind of
traffic.
Also, there'd need to be some kind of convenient mechanism for
developers without intrinsic mime support
Last week I asked for comments about using MIME-compliant e-mail messages
as a mechanism for users to downlaod Debian packages. Here's an example
using the hello package as the target.
I used mailto(1) from the metamail package to create this message. No
changes where needed to mailto or any of
4 matches
