Yarn internally handles mime attachment. It does not use the external
metamail program.
Could you describe what exactly the problem you are having is?
What does "the content data lines are not inserted properly" mean?
How about attaching a small file and posting it to the list in a
message with a description of just exactly what you think is going
wrong. (N.B. you can enter more text in the body of the message
by selecting edit immediately after selecting attach file.)
Good luck
