- The _e_x_t_c_o_m_p_o_s_e program will allow a user on a properly-
- equipped workstation to enter the appropriate data to enable
- a mail message he is sending to make reference to "external"
- data, that is, data that is not included in the mail message
- itself but is otherwise available on the network via a
- suitable mechanism.
-
- The user will be prompted for all necessary information.
- External data may be referenced as local or AFS files, as
- files available for FTP (anonymous or authenticated), or as
- data available via a mailserver mechanism. The user will be
- asked to provide a MIME content-type value to describe the
- type of data being referenced, and to specify whether or not
- the data has been encoded with one of the algorithms for
- encoding data for email. (Such encoding is not necessary,
- and is in fact inefficient and silly when used with
- externally referenced data.)
-
- This program is intended primarily to be called from mailcap
- files by programs like mailto(1).
