Subject: Can I send attachments uuencoded?

Is there a way to get Pine to use uuencoding on attachments so that
people w/o access to MIME can still get at the file?

Thanks.

	Sure...I do when necessary.

1.	While in compose mode use ^Z to suspend pine.

2.	uuencode the the file you wish to send.

3.	Type fg to return to pine.

4.	Use ^R to read-in the uuencoded file.

				done......

    You may wish to point your recipient to a means of decoding MIME
attachments, since that will become increasingly common; whether through
mpack/munpack, or by adding metamail to the user's present mailer, or
making use of a mailer with MIME built-in such as Pine or many others.
For information on such programs and where to find them, check out the
FAQ posted to comp.mail.mime .  I'd give the pointer to mpack at CMU
but this isn't a convenient environment from which I could find it, sorry...
