- Description:
-
- Mpack and munpack are utilities for encoding and decoding (respectively)
- binary files in MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) format mail
- messages. For compatibility with older forms of transferring binary files,
- the munpack program can also decode messages in split-uuencoded format.
-
- The Archimedes port interworks with Marcel (ANT's RISC OS MIME-compliant
- MUA) to preserve filetypes, timestamps and access permissions. munpack
- should correctly unpack any Marcel message. At present, mpack doesn't
- include the filetype, etc. information. This may be implemented in a
- future release.
