- Well, it *is* possible to attach a file to VMS Mail using an undocumented
- hook. You could "starbust" the incoming MIME message into pieces that have
- the appropriate file attached. When the user receives the message, he is
- prompted to extract the file.
-
- I'd probably not lose any sleep on this until the RFC becomes a recommended
- standard.
