Hi,
I have just built the new 'elm+mime' port. In order to do so I downloaded
the current versions of both the elm and metamail ports, so I am properly
current with the port versions, the operating system is at 2.1.0 Release.
I used the new version of elm to send myself a message with an embedded
sound file (MS '.wav' type). When I try to 'read' this message, I get the
following from elm:
<... text of message body removed...>
[Type: audio/x-wav, Encoding: base64, Size: 75513]
[audio/x-wav is not supported, skipping...]
I would normally expect the option of dumping the message to s file.
If I manually create a file from the elm menu (using | cat > <filename>)
and then run 'metamail' directly on the file produced, it works correctly,
invoking 'auplay' to interpret the sound file (as set up in
'/usr/local/etc/mailcap').
It appears that the composition steps are working, but that elm is either
not invoking metamail, or is invoking it wrongly.
Any suggestions?
John
