Does anyone have patches for trn which will interface it to metamail?  Is
anyone working on MIME in NEWS?  It seems to me that this news group would
be a likely place to start.  The thing about MIME is that there are so few
good authoring tools that it is not practical to use for day to day stuff.
A "one to many" correspondence like posting news is a better application for
MIME right now.  The more people read multi media mail the more use they'll
see for it.  Below is a bit of richtext.  If you do not have a MIME smart
news reader  you will see a lot of formating codes.

<nl><center><bold><underline>MIME in NEWS
</underline></bold></center><nl><flushleft>It seems to me that all we need to start posting <italic>MIME</italic> content stuff are news readers which have <italic>MetaMail</italic> integrated.  That shouldn't be hard.  This message is a test, it was created with a <bold>Content-type: </bold>header declaring this message to be of <bold>text/richtext</bold> format.  I have put it together by hand because I don't have a <italic>MIME</italic> smart news reader.  <nl><nl></flushleft>
