It's not. I pasted it in by hand from an Xterm. Almost all unix machines i've used still come with uuencode/uudecode, making them a convenient way to transport files in email such that they are not mangled by the MUA. Attached is the same file in Mime. If the OE6 version of the attachement causes grief, I can reattach using mutt or even generate my own MIME by hand if need be. In many unix clients, to extract a uuencoded file, type "|uudecode" into your client such as elm mutt or pine. If that's not supported, save to file and uudecode the file. If that's not supported, uudecode your inbox (uudecode < /var/mail/myuserid) > > except Outlook has still support for it. > > So do many other MUAs but they only use it to *read* incoming mail !

ROTFL! That is so funny! I knew my lack of confidence in OE6's ability to render emails was well founded, but that's the tops! Nevertheless, it is still the least quirky IMAP MUA UI (I am only commenting on the basic mail reading UI). The rest of it stinks, but till evolution or something else is as fast, as clean, as reliable (Evolution coredumps regularly), then I am stuck with OE6 + mutt. > Merry Christmas !
