It It hasn't. RFC 1154 provids support for it (and the Poste mail system uses this). Z-Mail also supports binary enclosures, but not using any of the released RFCs. And there are older RFCs than 1154 which also provide means of doing binary message transfer. There just hasn't been the critical mass or need to see these things used heavily before now. -- Alfalfa Software, Inc. | Poste: The EMail for Unix nazgul@alfalfa.com | Send Anything...
