Hi all, this is an appeal for some advice - first up, I want an Email program for Linux. Sound simple? Lets make it a bit more complex....it's got to be MIME compliant. Problem is, I've tried Spruce, Cronos][, Evolution and Pygmy and none of them can cope with attachments produced by mailto (part of the metamail *reference* MIME package).
Problem seems to be that they are all looking for a name for the attachments which metamail doesn't provide. Here's a wee bash script I use for sending out files (e.g. `sendfile data.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]`) to save you having to learn how to use mailto.... #!/bin/bash echo $1 "\\n~*\\n0\\n"$1"\\n~." >automail.in ; \ mailto $2 <automail.in ; \ rm -f automail.in (I know its not the greatest program ever written). ....or am I doing something stupid. Next question: I have been donated a 2Mb 386 laptop. I can get it talking to my Linux boxes over serial connection using a DOS terminal emulator, and can even get it to talk ppp. Unfortunately I can't get it to run arachne (a DOS web browser - not enough memory). Also running ppp as a DOS TSR is very lumpy. I did try to track down a copy of GeoWorks (an alternative GUI written for 286/386 DOS boxes) but it currently is not available. Anybody any better suggestions?
