File Attachment
To send binary files such as pictures or sound files, you will need a program that will encode the binary file into a form that can be transmitted through the modem. A generally used program is uuxt which can be found on Aminet or your local BBS. It is recommended that you use V3.1. Older versions may also work. AirMail also support MIME format. The recommended MIME program to use is base64 which can be found on Aminet in util/conv or your local bbs. AirMail will automatically call uuxt or base64 to uuencode/uudecode program to the email. If the file is already uuencoded then AirMail will skip it. You must define the UU or MIME program in the Mail Setup before you can use the automatic uudecode and uuencode. The path to the UU or MIME program must be a complete path, DO NOT add parameters. AirMail is hardcoded to handle the parameters. c:uuxt ---> invalidc:base64 dh0:c/uuxt ---> valid dh0:c/base64 Note: AirMail actually assumes that UUxT and base64 is the program used, UUxT and MIME is a single program that both uuencodes and uudecodes. AirMail assumes the following formats when decoding and encoding.UUxt 3.1 Encode 1>uuxt a infile outfile Decode 1>uuxt x filename base64 1.0 Encode 1>base64 encode mime infile outfile Decode 1>base64 decode filename
