If you have a look at the ports, there are several packages that can do MIME. Both mpack and uudeview can do MIME-compliant base64 encoding, break the file into multi-parts, and automatically email it. I think metamail can also do MIME stuff. Base64 is arguably preferrable to uuencoding, anyways, so long as you know the recipient can decode it. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
