In a similar vein, I'd like to see the addition of BinHex (HQX/RFC-1741) encoding/decoding. (See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1741.html) I work in a company with a large number of Macintosh users with older email clients that, by default, send out binhex-encoded messages. I currently have to save them all to disk and decode them, one by one, by running them through a decoding program. While it's not an efficient encoding mechanism, it's popular and not going to disappear quickly enough. It would really by nice if TheBat were able to support this widely used older (Macintosh) encoding algorithm. Thanks for listening .... :) -- James ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
