- The _e_x_t_c_o_m_p_o_s_e program will allow a user on a properly-equipped
- workstation to enter the appropriate data to enable a mail message he is
- sending to make reference to "external" data, that is, data that is not
- included in the mail message itself but is otherwise available on the
- network via a suitable mechanism.
-
- The user will be prompted for all necessary information. External data
- may be referenced as local or AFS files, as files available for FTP
- (anonymous or authenticated), or as data available via a mailserver
- mechanism. The user will be asked to provide a MIME content-type value
- to describe the type of data being referenced, and to specify whether or
- not the data has been encoded with one of the algorithms for encoding
- data for email. (Such encoding is not necessary, and is in fact
- inefficient and silly when used with externally referenced data.)
-
- This program is intended primarily to be called from mailcap files by
- programs like mailto(1).
