Subject: Help for attaching files

I use pine on a Mac.  How do I attach files to email messages?
Specifically, I want to attach files I"ve made on Microsoft Word.  I asked
the support staff at my university, but they only knew how to do it on a
PC, not on a Mac.  Many thanks.

If you have a pine interface that will work on a MAc then I would imagine
that the commands should be the same. In the header, go to "attachment"
and type ^j (Control J). That's what does it in ther PC version...

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous.  If I brushed a user off with
an "I don't know", I'd lose my job.  Sheesh.  Perhaps the staff
misconstrued the meaning of 'support' in their job title???

Are you using Pine within a Unix-based account?  If you are, then
you first have to transfer the file from your MAC to your Unix
account.  Do you have Fetch or any other file transfer software
on your machine?  Use it to transfer the file to the home
directory of your Unix account.  Be sure to specify the filetype
as binary.  Then open a compose screen in Pine, and type the name
of the file you uploaded in the Attchmnt: field and hit enter.
You should see the filepath in the Attchmnt: field.  Then send
the message as usual.  

Let me know if you need specific instructions for using Fetch.
