Yes, patching NewsGrazer so that it used metamail to display MIME messages should be very easy. The metamail distribution comes with patches for over a dozen mail & news readers, which should be useful as a model for how to patch other things such as NewsGrazer. The main reason I'm replying, however, is to point out that Doug has jumped the gun slightly. The "latest" version of Andrew that he refers to has NOT yet been publicly released -- an easy mistake for him to make, since he's at CMU. I believe the Andrew Consortium is planning to release the MIME-smart version of Andrew some time this month, but to my knowledge it has not happened yet. -- Nathaniel

As several other folks have mentioned, it would be nice if NewsGrazer was updated to incorporate the MIME code. Since NeXT, and not Jayson Adams, now has the responsibility to maintain NewsGrazer, perhaps anyone who is interested in such updates and bug fixes should drop NeXT some email. -- Nathan Janette "I'm a NeXTstep man, Dept MB&B, Yale Univ I'm a NeXTcube guy" New Haven, CT nathan@laplace.biology.yale.edu (NeXT)
