When I send files by Pine they arrive in MIME and receivers of my mail 
need a way to decode them.  Is there any simple MIME software to which 
you could refer me so files I send via Pine could be translated by my 
relatively non-technical friends?  Suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks.  Ann Whitehead

I have the same frustrating problem. I read the faq and pulled down
mpak for the mac and it kinda seems to works sometimes..when sending
mail to my work address but now I've lost the site with all that
stuff and I have friends dos/windoze types who need mpak or similar
so we can send attached files.
Please, somebody help us, Please!
Many thanks,
Bret

I've excerpted a MIME doc we have around here that contains the following 
pointer:

 There are a number of stand-alone programs that can interpret a MIME
 message.  One of the more versatile is called "munpack".  It was developed
 at Carnegie Mellon University and is available via anonymous FTP from the
 host ftp.andrew.cmu.edu in the directory pub/mpack/.  There are versions
 available for Unix, PC, Mac and Amiga systems.  For compabibility with
 older forms of transferring binary files, the munpack program can also
 decode messages in split-uuencoded format. 

See the FAQ on comp.mail.mime for other alternatives.
