I'd like to be able to make mush work along with AT&T's PMX mailers that allow binary attachments using a "Content-Type:" and "Content-Length:" header to delimit the message body instead of escaping lines starting with "From ". The problem with unescaped "From "s is rare enough that I could ignore it, but copying the messages with fgets()/fputs() destroys attachments with embedded nulls. What I'm really after is a way to automatically weed out old data from automatic mailings when people don't pick up their messages. It might be possible just to define a new fputs() that writes until it finds '\n''\0' instead of just '\0' to insure that it stops at the same place as the corresponding fgets(). However, the ability to handle attachments is very handy - it would be nice if some free mailers supported it. Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us
