Is the comment erroneous? According to the documentation in "(emacs-mime)Composing", one must put certain text in the buffer which then gets converted to Mime parts, Maybe that is convenient for some cases, but what I would like is a simpler command that just attaches a file. Has anyone written such a thing? Bob Chassell wrote: Marc Andreessen wrote Emacs Lisp to add gif, jpeg, postscript, raw-binary, and raw-nonbinary in 1992 in MIME and in 1993-95 Masanobu UMEDA wrote Emacs Lisp to edit MIME text messages. Does any of that do the simple thing I would like?
