Subject: How does Pine recognize MIME attachments?

From: [email-masked] (Rick Rankin)

I have a message containing MIME attachments that was forwarded to me
through Microsoft mail which, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't
support MIME. The message originated from Pine 3.89, and I'm running
Pine 3.90.  For some reason, Pine does not recognize the MIME
attachments in the message.

I have two questions.  First, did MS Mail somehow munge the header so
that Pine no longer recognizes the attachment? Second, regardless of
whether MS Mail is at fault, can I edit the message directly so that
Pine will recognize the attachments?

Here is the header as it came to me:

 --0-1024407403-786752173:#23303
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; name=temp
Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
Content-ID: <Pine.3.89.9412061513.A23303@dana>
Content-Description:

[[ ... message deleted ... ]]

 --0-1024407403-786752173:#23303--

Any help would be appreciated.

	Actually, what you state is the header is really the body.  The
header would have looked something like:

	The most important key item is the "Mime-Version:" header, which
tells the UA (in your case pine) that this is a mime message.

	You should be able to edit you heads so that the look like:

Message-Id: <ab011132050210034f0e@[129.46.10.64]>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="--0-1024407403-786752173:#23303--"
