i subscribe to mail lists and handle as pseudo newsgroups in yarn. What I'm
really wondering about is can I compose a message in yarn and attach a
binary file to it. I know I can do this when on line. what i do is
upload from my pc to my workspace on the isp. then using their mail program
i compose a message as usual, at this point i'll use a control key like
^T which tells the mail program that i want to attach a file to this message.
it then gives me a listing of files in my workspace. i highlight the one
i want, press enter, and it then gets attached to the message. now when i
send the message, it also sends the attached file.
In Yarn, my messages get saved in a file called replies.zip, I upload this
to a menu item called yarn upload. then it gets unzipped and posted to the
appropriate mail lists. But, what I want to do, is to attach binary files,
e.g. graphic, or application files to my messages, and then upload them.
how do I do a file attachement in yarn for a text and a binary file, and
when i upload to the isp will these file attachements get posted with the
message properly? Thanks, you guys are terrific!
