Subject: attaching binary files

If I attach a binary file, do I need to tell pine that it's a binary file 
or will it recognize it?

Pine uses BASE64 encoding on all attachments, so being a binary file is not a
problem.  It does recognize a few binary file types and tag them accordingly
(e.g. image/gif, text/postscript, etc).
