[Tutor] How to attach file with mail

Thu, 13 Dec 2001 02:03:14 -0500

The project thus far does not handle mime m ultipart attachments- most
list servers do not. The footwe would mess it up. IF you want to pass an
attachment, do not use a footer on that list. I will have to include a
few lines to see if the footer files exist, and to skip that part of
code if they do not. Such a list would simply pass on the main protion
of the submuission, with the in line attachment sitting right there.

Would you like to look at a short letter with a short attachment?
