- Yeah, but if it's base64 it automatically assumes that it is a single file
- even if it's multipart. The rest of the files (when trying to read them)
- are usually blank after autodecoding, making it impossible to decode by hand.
-
- While I have seen b64, and know that it can be difficult to determine number
- of files, etc., perhaps there should be an option to keep files from being
- decoded altogether. Perhaps adding in the conferences config and option where
- you can choose to decode or not decode b64, uue, etc. would be a good option.
-
- Also, if it could be done, NeXT mail support would be great... i.e. better
- decoding with icons representing everything decoded (NeXT also TARs attach-
- ments before coding) without a message saying that there was an attachment
- there) and drag and drop ability to add files (as NeXT can have several
- attachments).
-
- Other than that, decoding/encoding work fine for me...
