I wonder if somebody could answer two questions for me.
How can I attach a directory (preferably compressed) and, recursively, its
contents to a message?
How could I have answered this question for myself? Neither "man mhbuild" nor
'cat /etc/nmh/mhn.defaults' helped.
I am using nmh-1.0.

I know how to attach a .tgz file. For example:
#application/octet-stream; \

name=SoundShot.tgz /home/norm/Downloads/SoundShot.tgz
or a zip file. For example:
#application/zip; name=,a.zip /home/norm/Downloads/,a.zip
But how do I attach a .png file, for example
The attach feature is really great! Thank you very much!!
I can't find any documentation for it, (./docs/README-ATTACHMENTS is for a much

I don't remember all the places I looked and things I tried, nor do I remember
the order in which I did them. But here are some of the things I tried:
man attach
man -
Could send have an option that makes an unrecognized mime type an error?

I'm working on the attach, alist, detach, etc. write up.
