Re: Attaching a file to an Autoresponse

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 
procmail messages for over three months 
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
