Subject: Sending PS files

I am using Pine 3.85 on a UNIX platform.
  
When I try to send a postscript file (which is ASCII), Pine seems to encode the
file before sending.  Problems arises when the receiving side does not use pine,
the received mail contains junk.  The receiving is OK if pine is used.

Can anyone point me to ways to Turn off the Encoding?  Thanks.

	You may not want to turn off encoding of PostScript files.  The
reason is many PostScript files will have lines which are greater than
1000 characters in length.  These long lines tend to get "folded" in
transit.  Also, PostScript files can contain more than 7bit ASCII.
