Re: Thundermail and txt attachments

Hello List,

is there a (Debian) way to ask Thunderbird to encode `text'
(as LaTeX source file) attachment ?

In fact I recently experienced the follwing:
one of my correspond ask to send him a LaTeX source in attachment,
so I did it with Thunderbird, but unfortunately my correspondant
uses Pine which shows the LaTeX source in plain text, hence some
misunderstandings. Meanwhile I heard that Pine encode its attached files,
hence my question.

Thanks,
Jerome

As a quick work around, just tar zip it and send it to him

tar czvf latexsource.tgz latexsource.tex

Your correspondent will download this file and do

tar xzvf latexsource.tgz
