- I changed Jon's attachment system to get the attachment header name and format from the profile and not from command line arguments. This made the involved commands and functions less bulky because the values need not to be passed through all the time. It also makes this data avaliable to any program who ``likes to take part''. This alone I regard as an improvement. The new profile names are: `attachment-header' and `attachment-format'. (attach_fmt should likely be a char* too.)
Wrong way to approach it. What if exmh (which uses nmh under the covers) wants to add 3 attachments to a note - one an image/jpg called 'fallout.jpg', an Excel spreadsheet called 'estimates.xls', and a Word document called 'coverstory.doc'? You *really* need to be able to specify the name, the mime-type, and possibly the mime-encoding of the attachment on a per-attachment basis. If you don't specify mime-encoding, it must be intuited by looking at the mime-type (it's pointless to use anything other than base64 for an image/jpg, for instance), and possibly having to scan the attachment (a text/plain should be defaulted to no encoding if it's ascii, but will need quoted-printable if it contains the occasional non-ascii Latin chars, and may benefit from base64 if it's entirely in one of various non-Latin charsets).
