Word is a bad choice. A lot of sites filter word out because it
carries macro viruses. Uses words RTF format if you must. Some users
may prefer a PostScript version though.

I wonder if anyone could offer a bit of advice. I have been reading these

now and no one seems to have asked about this aspect of using procmail.
I am still baffled by how to write a recipe that will take a MIME BASE 64
encoded file (originally an application form
prepared in MS-Word) and attach it to a text file message sent back by an
autoresponder.
The autoresponder recipe I have written works fine. But I have been
unsuccessful in having my e-mail client detect
the MIME attachment and un-encoding it. It comes back to me as one long text
file with the encoded text as is. I
have to use another program, such as Wincode to convert it back into the
original Word doc file.
Is there a way to attach to the text message encoded application form such
that any mail client that can decode a
MIME attachment will un-encode it and present it as the original Word
document file? Then the recipient would only
need to open the document in Word and all formatting/spacing problems would
be solved.
TIA
