Try looking at sendmail, postfix, or qmail for reference. Sorry to confuse you with facts, but even in this day and age sendmail does MIME conversion, as qmail is not a MIME-compliant MTA, so that's a red herring. Sendmail: *snip* Maybe we should stop mutual insults and come back to the facts which are, actually, quite straight and simple: - RFC 1847 requires mail user agents to create messages in a way which makes sure that no conversions will be necessary. - RFC 1847 explicitly forbids such conversions, and any other changes to the contents of a multipart/mixed body part. - RFC 1847 is a standards track document (currently PROPOSED STANDARD). - You have choosen not to adhere by that standard - your reasos for that actually don't interest me that much. As a consequence, your MTA is BROKEN, and should better only be used in toy environments. -- Thomas Roessler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Exec Error 127
Hi, I get the above error message when I try to send a message with mutt 1.2.5i from a RH 7.0 Linux box on intel x686. I'm able to fetch mail from my ISP, though, What's wrong? What should I check? PS - I'm writing this message from Netscape. Regards, Gian Piero
Re: Exec Error 127
Look at your "set editor" variable in .muttrc file. Once I had it set to vi, when I didn't have that installed, but I had vim installed, and received the same error.

I suggest you take this discussion in private or to the dev list, and not bother the users list with ongoing name-calling and pointing fingers.
