Howdy,
I was wondering about the possibility of anyone writing a program
for the new "Internet Standard" of mail called Mime. I caught an article
about it in Boardwatch Magazine (I believe it was the March issue).
Mime will implement a standard for pictures and audio extensions to
e-mail over the internet. Instead of using the proprietary Newsgrazer (I
do like newsgrazer) format, how about an implementation of a Mime program.
Or perhaps Jayson Adams might consider implementing a Mime feature into
Newsgrazer itself.

MH 6.7.1 and 6.7.2 can be modified to "do" MIME mail. there are
patches out there that provide the capability. MH 6.7.3 will have it
built-in. MH-MIME is not dependent on any particular display device,
but you have to provide the necessary programs to properly show the
multimedia parts (jpeg, mpeg, gif, audio, etc.) and set up the
necessary configuration file telling mh-mime what to do with the
different parts. it works amazingly easily once it is all set up.
