The attach feature is really great! Thank you very much!!
I can't find any documentation for it, (./docs/README-ATTACHMENTS is for a much
older nmh version, when the attach feature was not nearly as nice as it is now).
As near as I can tell:
If I give it an extension it doesn't recognize, it is accepted anyway.
It doesn't use /etc/mime.types. At least, it doesn't change the access time.
Nor do send or post.
At send time, if a file extension is not recognized, it is regarded as having
mime type, .txt or .octet-stream, depending on the content of the file -- I
suppose ASCI or not.
Is there some way I can find out what mime types are recognized? The
only way I know how to tell is to send the message.
Blanks can be escaped with back slashes. (I don't create files with blanks in
their names, but I sometimes work with people who do).
What other characters need to be escaped? I suppose back slashes
themselves do.
Again, thank you very much!
