So, that's not _exactly_ true. You can, for example, add -nocheckmime to show to suppress that behavior (also, at least for 1.5, set NOMHNPROC in your environment). Of course you get no decoding of the message body when you do that. > I managed to escape from <press enter> for headers with mhshow: > -nomoreproc, but I can't get the same eye-plesant result as with > non-mime messages. > > Does anyone ever scripted a solution for this with metamail or > anything like this?

My plan is to make things much better for 1.6 (but it still won't be exactly where I want). Right now there is no good answer in 1.5 (or even in the git tree). >2) When I reply with non-english text to an email, and attach a file > to the reply, final message is a multipart MIME, and text part is > octet-stream, I checked git (1.5 here) - seem it's fixed there, > much thanks for that, nevertheless, is it possible to make those > 'text' parts of the reply as 'Content-Disposition: inline' somehow? Let me understand you, so there's no confusion. You're saying that you repl to a message, you include non-ASCII characters in your reply text, you use the "attach" command, and the text part of your message ends up as an application/octet-stream? Okay, yeah, that's also unfortunately the default behavior in 1.5 and we didn't fix that until after 1.5 was released. The attach system has been totally revamped and should be a lot better for 1.6, but I think right now your only solution is to manually construct mhbuild directives for the files you want to attach and then run "mime" at the whatnow? prompt; if you do that, things should work out correctly. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
