Mailtool in Solaris 2.3 and Solaris 2.4 tries to handles MIME-compliant mail it receives. For Solaris 2.4 you have to install patch 101880-xx (where xx is version 05 or later. 101880-08 is on the September patch CD) to get it to work. > The only other mailer I'm aware of that handles MIME *and* Sun's mailtool > attachment format is Pronto Mail under Windows. Exmh version 1.6.2 handles both MIME and Sun mailtool attachments. Take a look at http://www.smli.com/~bwelch/exmh/index.html The current version (exmh-1.6.4.tar.Z plus 1.6.4.Patch) is available under ftp://ftp.sunlabs.com/pub/tcl/exmh Ola -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ola Stromfors Email: Ola.Stromfors@linkoping.trab.se Telia Research AB Tel: +46 13 235530 Teknikringen 2 Fax: +46 13 213635
