What kind of MIME?

I could not get cmail to work correctly for me.  It appears to have no
functionality to allow you to start using it in the middle of a game
- -- it seems only to work if you start using it when you start the
game.  Also, I did not care for its design (keeping two non-standard
files for each game).

The way I've used Xboard for email chess is to do just what you're
doing right now -- keep the games in a pgn file and then manually
erase the old game after each new move.  This does get annoying but it
does work.  After making and saving the moves, I just imported the
file into the email message.
