support for attachments (and MIME) in MAIL?

» close window

The Question is:

 
On a VAX 6000-430 running OpenVMS V6.2 I have
upgraded DEC TCP/IP Services from V3.2 to 4.2;
i have killed IUPOP3 hoping to use POP of DEC
TCP/IP.
Now, if from mail-client (Eudora,Netscape,etc)
i post a mail with attached document, this attach
arrive to destination not as separated document
but in the same message and as
Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" : completely
unreadable.
Somebody can give me a suggestion ?
Regards.
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  OpenVMS and UCX do not current support MIME encoding for sending of mail
  messages, nor the reception (and processing) of MIME messages (beyond the
  processing accorded a non-MIME text message) prior to OpenVMS V7.2.  Work
  on the encoding of messages into MIME format for transmission is under
  serious consideration for inclusion in a future release.
