   :r! uuencode file file
 
  does Andre really want to manually convert
  every file before sending it on to his PDA?

 I (Andre) don't mind hitting :r! uuencode file file,
 as I'm using vim anyway. You (Sven) could have pointed
 out that UUencoding is mentioned nowhere in the
 documentation, at least to my best knowledge it is not.

do you really expect to find descriptions of
base64, quoted-printable, rot13, uucode, and
yenc in the *mutt* manual?  i mean, really?

yes, the mutt manual does not mention all of the
possible encodings which exit in this world.
so what?  after all it's a manual about *mutt*
and not the what-else-is-there manual, right?

 Maybe it shouldn't necessarily have been mentioned, but on
 the other hand it is not there. So what's wrong with asking?

i don't mind you asking at all.  but do you mind
improving the description of your problem and goal?

 In the meantime I think I've narrowed down the problem
 to the MIME settings on my PDA, though I haven't found
 a solution yet. Not a mutt topic though.

i think, yes, mutt can maybe play a role in your solution but
it will depend mostly on the programs available on your PDA.
or shorter:  the solution must be with the PDA.
it's not a mutt problem - it's a PDA problem!

[and so on]

It seems I'm still not clear enough. I expect the solutions of all
problems in the world neither in the mutt manual nor from you, the
difference is, the mutt manual seems more comprehensive to me.=20

Fair enough.

 it's not a mutt problem - it's a PDA problem!

So let's stop making it a communication problem.=20
