Hmmm. Interesting. I have installed metamail, mh 6.8 exmh, Tcl and Tk.
I am interested in the capability to _send_ multimedia mail from exmh,
not just deal with it when I recieve it. I suppose what I am asking, is
Are there any add-on bits for exmh that extend the functionality to include:
1) send multimedia attachments
2) provide an address list feature ( I use pine at present)
The utility you mention above, safe-tcl, does this add any of these
features?
I would like to use exmh as my mailer, but at the moment, I feel that
the (apparent) inability to _send_ multimedia mail or use an address
list would make this a retrograde step.
