Re: anti-MIME metamail note

2001-09-12 06:27:29
Using metamail to extract MIME attachments *fails* when dealing with
images.

Presumably because it hasn't been configured correctly.

I don't know how to tell metamail to *not* use 'ee'

'man metamail' is a great place to start:

  DESCRIPTION
       The  metamail  program reads a "mailcap" file to determine
       how to display non-text at the local  site.   Every  mail-
       reading interface needs to call metamail whenever non-text
       mail is being viewed, unless the mail is of a type that is
       already  understood by the mail-reading program.  Metamail
       consults the mailcap file(s) to determine what program  to
       use to show the message to the user.

etc., etc., etc.

Hope that helps,
Martin
