Are you sure? Is the media type of a message with attachments multipart/mixed? My point was that you could "attach" files, but only with uuencode which is, at best, an ad hoc mechanism.

Greg;

What you say may be true of GUI mail. It is not true under Webmail. Web Mail does support attachments (It did under DSM and soon will again under
Cache and we are expecting under GTM shortly there after).

If I recall correctly (as someone else said, no one uses it much
anymore), it does support uuencode, but is not MIME compliant, so
there are no proper attachments. You would probably be better off
using the POP server (no  one has implemented IMAP). As an MTA,
Mailman can transport mail with attachments just fine, but only
because they are seldom an issue for the MTA piece.

So it only allows text based and no attachments?
