Subject: Pine Attachments & Eudora

We have tried sending Word Perfect (binary) files as attachments within 
pine to friends using Popmail and Eudora without much success, and haven't
resolved the issues.  Could we hear from those with experience of Pop mail
clients as well as Pine whether we should expect to be able to send Word
Perfect binary file attachments with pine and have the pop clients handle
them.

Dan,
Eudora and Popmail predate the Internet standard for attachments (MIME) and so
are not yet compatible with mailers (e.g. Pine) that use MIME's Base64
encoding.  I've heard that MIME support is planned for the next version of
Eudora; don't know about Popmail.

We have a group here working on adding MIME support to Mailstrom (a Mac
IMAP client). I've included them in this message along with Adam Tressler
(who wrote Mailstrom) in the hope that they might speak to your
problems. I think they might reccommend using IMAP instead of POP and
Mailstrom instead of Eudora. ;->
