I just realized that I can compress any type of file format with gzip or 
zip and send it that way without needing to modify any configuration 
files.  I should not be sending uncompressed .wav or .ppm files anyway as 
they would be very large.  So your defaults should be just fine.
zip gz tgz gif png jpg are already compressed and (with the BL2 mutt, 
anyway) those were correctly identified in attachments and sent base64.

I don't understand what you mean about colors in X window.  I have not 
tried to view mail with attached images yet.  Does this not work right?

Thank you for your very nice package.  It will keep me entertained for 
quite a while.
