Interesting page, Heiner. I've gone over it carefully and learned a lot,
as well as downloaded the RFCs you give links to there. Very nice.

It does not seem like it would be difficult to write a script that would
allow one to send attachments with mail(x). Formail to add the headers`
and (on this Debian Linux box):

$ file <file> | magic2mime

to get the mimetype and sed to write in the boundary-seperator/headers.
and the attachment file. Mimencode to turn binaries into ascii.
