All I can say is that there are various packages that all supply /bin/mail. In gentoo the package commonly used is mail-client/mailx which hails from debian.org (according to portage $HOMEPAGE) but the source looks for like BSD, and the copyright is to the Regents of the University of California, and the license is BSD. mail-client/nail (nail.sf.net) will do the same job, and is described as "enhanced". It looks like it handles mime: "Supports the MIME specifications. Nail can send and receive attachments and code and decode international character strings. If the system libraries provide appropriate support, conversion between different character encodings is performed. In combination with a UTF-8 terminal, nearly all international languages are supported. External converter programs can be automatically invoked e. g. to view messages in HTML format." I would look for a nail package for FC. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
