Binary files /home/jerry/code/nmh-1.7-RC3/test/testdir/21786.draft and 
/home/jerry/code/nmh-1.7-RC3/test/testdir/21786.expected differ

That's ... interesting.

./test/mhbuild/test-attach: test failed, outputs are in 
/home/jerry/code/nmh-1.7-RC3/test/testdir/21786.draft and 
/home/jerry/code/nmh-1.7-RC3/test/testdir/21786.expected.
FAIL: test/mhbuild/test-attach

I think that might have been cleaned up.  Could you do:

    make check TESTS=test/mhbuild/test-attach

And then let us know what the files that it claimed were different actually
contained?

The difference was in the final section -

(9052.expected contains)

Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="nulls"
Content-Description: nulls
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="nulls"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

------- =_aaaaaaaaaa0--

(9052.draft contains):

Content-Type: binary/; name="nulls"

Um, wow.  A Content-Type of binary/ ????

I am curious .... if you grep through config.status for the following
variables:

MIMETYPEPROC
MIMEENCODINGPROC

What do they return?  It might be something like

      file --brief --dereference --mime-type

And what happens when you run that command on the file test/mhbuild/nulls ?

Ken,

you were correct on what grep returns:

[jerry@unix nmh-1.7-RC3]$ grep MIMETYPEPROC config.status
D["MIMETYPEPROC"]=" \"file --brief --dereference --mime-type\""

[jerry@unix nmh-1.7-RC3]$ grep MIMEENCODINGPROC config.status
D["MIMEENCODINGPROC"]=" \"file --brief --dereference --mime-encoding\""

Then running the command:

[jerry@unix nmh-1.7-RC3]$ file --brief --dereference --mime-type 
test/mhbuild/nulls
binary


--Ken
