Subject: How to supress MIME-Support???

Hello!

I'm using pine for everyday mailing without big problems. However, one 
problem remains: pine uses MIME quoted printables for special characters
and even for very usual ones like TAB or CR. A lot of my friends use 
software without MIME-support, so my mails are funny looking or plain
unreadable.

How can I configure pine to send all 7-bit ASCII-Characters without MIME-
quoting? I found nothing in the documentation  bout this problem.

Any help will be appreciated. 

Martin

  If you don't mind losing MIME altogether, you can recompile without the 
"#define MIME" (or something like that; maybe MIME_ENABLED); it's an ugly 
solution, but ought to work (you may have to wrap a few things in 
"#ifdef MIME"s )...

If you only have 7-bit characters in the message, Pine will not encode it. 
But if you have even one 8-bit character there is no way to prevent
encoding...

Huh?  There is no such #define in Pine.  You must be thinking of some other
program...

	Not only that....it would defeat the whole purpose to "supress
MIME-Support".  What he should be doing is encouraging the other folks
to switch to a MIME capable UA.  Not breaking a working one.
