I was not able to find any. Take a look at rmime.el. I have been using it with no trouble. Here is how rmime.el describes itself: ;;; rmime.el --- read MIME messages ;; Author: Ray Moody ;; Version: $Id: rmime.el,v 1.2 1996/05/30 02:24:58 moody Exp $ ;; Charset support version 0.3 by J. Chroboczek ;; Keywords: MIME, mail ;;; Commentary: ;; RMIME provides MIME support for several Emacs message reading ;; packages. RMIME has been designed with RMAIL in mind, but it has ;; also been tested with mh-e and VM. It should work with most other ;; major modes as well. Before loading rmime.el, you need to load charset.el, which is in a library from 1996 written by Juliusz Chroboczek . The rmime.el file says to put this into your .emacs file: ;; (add-hook 'rmail-show-message-hook 'rmime-format) ;; (add-hook 'rmail-edit-mode-hook 'rmime-cancel) ;; (autoload 'rmime-format "rmime" "" nil) but I do this: (load "charset") (load "rmime") (set-face-foreground 'rmime-markup-face "cyan") (define-key rmail-mode-map [f7] 'rmime-mode) ; fn key F7 (For creating MIME messages, I use Marc Andreessen's mime-compose.el, which he wrote in 1992 before he started Netscape.) Also, you need to have installed mimencode and then, since the names have changed, to symbollically link mmencode to mimencode: ln -s mimencode mmencode This works in today's CVS snapshot, Tue, 2003 Oct 14 12:16 UTC GNU Emacs 21.3.50.118 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.2.1) -- Robert J.
