Yes, isn't it wonderful!  But doesn't the end-user require an X terminal
or X terminal compatibility package to display the file while in the MIME
compatible mail handler?

If that is the case, the DOS and Windows users out there who are dialing
into an Internet provider would not be able to display the file, but they
would still be able to save the file properly and download it to their PCs
and view it with a resident GIF, MPEG, etc. viewer.
