Hi Sindi and list,

I installed the mutt-bl3.tgz on a fresh bl3.32 system.
It seemed to work well on console, even enclosed a jpg
file to a message. The base64 encoding will be the default
for any binary attachment. But you have to edit manually the
mime type in order to tell the recipient what kind of binary
file it is (image/jpg). If it is declared correctly the
receiver's mailcap routine can display the file automatically.

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 have not found out yet, if mime.type is at the right place or not.
muttrc does definetely NOT contain the path to mime.type. I may have
to change the search path for mime.type before compiling mutt.
Anyway I need to recompile. Mutt really should support colours in X
window, not only in bl3 where Stephen supposes almost anything to be
run in X window.

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?

I have already got quite a few things on my To-Do-List for
the improved versions. Thank you for your feedback.

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


Christof
