- Firstly, I have not read the RFC (I intend to), I just need a quick yes/no.

- I am testing mail packages for future use. I am playing presently with
- Pine for dumb terminals and Zmail for X. Perhaps I am missing something, but
- isn't MIME compliancy supposed to enable me to att/de tach files of certain
- types between dissimilar mailers? It appears attaching a executable binary
- can only be detached in it's original executable form by the same mailer
- that sent it. This appears to make these two mailers appear to be as incompatible as any other non-MIME mailers. Have my expectations of MIME's
- meaning been way overblown or am I missing something?

- - Thanks, Kyle
