Re: Does OpenVMS MIME work with your stack?

The good folks at PSC have passed on this interim work-around for my MIME
problem. I tried it out and it works but I haven't (yet) found any official
OpenVMS documentation describing "/foreign" or "/type".

/FOREIGN was reportedly described in some other documentation,
perhaps X25mail.

/Type feeds into the "User Defined Flags" value passed to the foreign
transport mechanism (with protocol 2 or greater used to communicate
with those mechanisms).

A general description of what this means to all foreign protocols
would be impossible, so it seems likely the place for a description
to appear would be the PSC documentation.

$MAIL/subj=whatever/foreign/type=2 mime-doc.txt

Note that:

send/foreign/type=2

also works from within VMSMAIL.

What does /type=2 accomplish (for the non-Internet case) ?
