Subject: Why is MIME hard?
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2007 14:14:20 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1190902460.055800.73670@y42g2000hsy.googlegroups.com> (raw)
I know this has been asked here many times before, but I'd be glad if
someone explains in a less esoteric manner.
I recently started reading my mail in Emacs and tried VM in XEmacs
21.4 and Rmail in GNU Emacs 21.1.1. While I have settled on Rmail for
last couple of weeks I found that the lack of MIME support was
bothering me.
0. How can I receive messages with MIME? (Attachments, HTML
messages, ...)
1. How can I send messages with MIME? (basically attachments)
The oft-quoted page http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/~trey/emacs/mime.html
seems to have stopped existing and I have been through the Emacs MIME
manual. But the real reason for posting this here is my inability to
guess a philosophy behind making MIME so hard in Emacs. Can't it be
any simpler? Also, someone commented on comp.mail.mime that I had to
"let go of Rmail and use Gnus or Mew instead" if I wanted MIME. Is
that really so?
