Using the procmail retrieve recipe to send a non-email file

1995-10-29 15:10:25
Hampered by a lack of knowledge of unix, Ive been trying to use the procmail
'retrieve' recipe to serve a file other than a plain text file.  What I'd
like to do would be to send a word .doc  (PC and MAC) a .pdf file or even a
.exe or .zip file (PC) in response to a mail message.

Is it possible to invoke sendmail to send the file as a MIME (or BINHEX)
attachment?  Does anyoe have a recipe that would do this? ( My apologies if
its in the MAN pages for while I can understand a lot of what they are
trying to say not knowing what they are trying to do to the server is a fair
handicap.;)
