- Version 2.4 does support MIME to some degree. You need metamail from
- Nathaniel Borenstein as additional software. There are instructions
- in the 2.4 distribution, how to obtain metamail.
-
- The MIME support isn't yet fully done. AT least you could properly
- receive MIME messages (elm calls out to metamail), and you could
- send some types of MIME messages. The mechanism for sending MIME
- messages isn't yet very elaborated, just a crude include mechanism.
