thank you for your helping advice. from this list I already learned about
setting up and using pseudo newsgroups and scoring the posts and this is
working for me. I can also filter messages into folders. Now, if I
install this munpack and configure yarn to use it, does it matter if the
file attachement is text or binary. logically, it should be a binary
file, since the message will generally be the text part. but, I'm just
wondering if munpack will uuencode both types. Also, i'm wondering about
the receiver of the message. do they have to do anything extra to the
attachement to restore it to it's native format? once again, thanks.
