After having a look at various other MIME-related packages it looks like metamail didn't do what I expected it in the first line, and furthermore, the "mimencode" functionality is provided by various other packages (e.g. mime-codecs). Getting rid of it looks hard though, it is depended-on heavily and popcon lists it as installed on ~25% of the machines participating. Christoph -- cb@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
