Hi all,

I'm not usually using Eudora, but I've read in one of the last mails posted
in this group that Eudora was still Binhexing the binary files even when the
AppleDouble encoding was chosen from the "mail composition window" in version
1.4.3 and it was suggested that this was a kind of "bug". This is false ! You
can send binary files using AppleDouble format from the mail composition
window and selecting Attach Document from the Mail menu. If you want the file
to be sent properly you also have to uncheck the "send as document" (= send as
Mac Document) option available from the popup menu. Than it works. A GIF file
sent by Eudora 1.4.3 to my station can be viewed with xv within Pine. IT works
properly.

Headers are :

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="========================_30353244==_"
X-Mailer: Eudora F1.4.3

AppleDouble selected + Send as (Mac) Document unselected + Quote Printable

Of course, good things to do by default in Eudora would be :

	1 - uncheck the "send as document" option
	2 - check the Quoted-Printable option
	3 - prefer AppleDouble instead of BinHex as encoding format

It's pretty nice to read Pine related news from this group so could we follow
this discussion in comp.mail ?

Bye
Guy
