Subject: Attach plain-text files *without* MIME encoding?

Help!

Is there any way to get Unix Pine to attach plain-text ASCII
files *without* encoding them in MIME format?  My recipients
are on Compuserve, and apparently their mailreaders don't
know how to decode the MIME-encoded attachments.  I haven't
been able to figure out how to convince Pine *not* to encode
the attachments.

Thanks,
Richard

I just (^R)ead the text file into the actual letter.

  How about importing the plain text file directly into your e-mail body? 
  To do so, press ^R when you're composing an e-mail while the cursor is
in the body of the message (not in any of the header fields). Then enter
the name of the plain text file you want to import.
