There is currently a new internet standard being developed for transfer of binary files as text and when that is completed, it will be supported by mailserv. The author of mailserv (who is a local) has no desire to support any other exchange formats, unfortunately. -dh --- Don Hosek TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont Consulting and dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu production work.
