I am pretty new to this MIME stuff, but I've got a need to
use metamail as a standalone program--I need to send 
multi-media mail to people who have no control over the
mail system, so they will save their mail to a file and then
run metamail on it.

Problem 1:
So, Im havving some trouble with the showpartial script.  I am
currently testing on a Sparc.  I'm using 
	metamail p1 p2 p3 
for a three-part message saved to three files.  showpartial writes the
"FULL" file and then executes metamail on it, but I never see anything
except the warning that the full file is now being deleted, etc.
Is this a common problem? Am I doing something stupid?

Problem/Question 2:
Also, The Sun Sparc (Openwindows 3) seems to be mime-compliant, but when
I compose with the "mailto" program that is part of the metamail 
distribution, the Sun mailtool displays everything as text, including
the image and audio files.  I don't see any documentation so far about
the MIME capability of the Sun mailtool--can anyone out there help?
I have no documentation on OW3.0, unfortunately.

Problem 3:
Finally, can anyone help with pointers to a metamail that will
work on the Mac?  I've got the ones for Unix, Dos, and Amiga.

Problem 4:
I've got the metamail exec for DOS with an appropriate mailcap and
some progs for handling GIFs and audio files.  When I try
	metamail sample.one
(sample.one is a sample mime messge) I get the header and then
the message "metamail Out of Memory!"
Any hints on this one?  

Sorry for the rambling, I've got a lot of questions and a deadline
looming :-(

Thanks in advance,
