Sir,

I originally sent the following message to 
[email-masked] and had a pleasant reply from David 
Miller who advised me to look at comp.mail.mime FAQ and to get in touch 
with you.

I have looked at the mime FAQ but didn't really find what I was looking for.

Could you possibly point me to where I might find some fairly basic 
information on BASE64. Also if you have received queries on Pine features 
(or possible lack of them!) I'd be grateful if you could pass them (and 
of course your answers) onto me.

I attach my original message for your information

Sir,

I have managed to find some messages relating to queries about BASE64 
encoding and was wondering if there was an FAQ dealing with this and 
other Pine related issues. I've tried searching using gopher but have had 
no luck.

If there is such an FAQ I'd be grateful if you could let me know where it 
is to be found.

I'm very impressed with Pine, and for my sins I'm supposed to be the 
expert here, but there is still an awful lot I'm not sure about. Any good 
pointers would be gratefully received.

Yours faithfully,

Colette Monaghan

	To learn about Base64 encoding reference rfc1521 starting on page
21.  It has a very good discussion.

					Regards,

P.S.	As for features/lack of features/bugs in pine....this is the
	ongoing discussion group that you posted this message to.
	You should be aware that pine has no bugs....only "undocumented
	features".  :-) :-)
