One of the tasks I use unix for is to algorithmically generate source code (a C language .h file). As usual, unix creates the .h text file without LFs. Since I provide these files to folks who use the PC, I convert the .h file to CRLF format using unix2dos as part of the .h file build process. Well, if I send an email using gnus, and attach one of these converted .h files, then when you open it on a PC machine (using Outlook), the CRLFs have been converted to CRLFLFs. This is very disconcerting. I do not want gnus to mess with the content of my attachments. Is there a way to modify gnus' behavior so that it will simply wrap my text files as-is into a MIME attachment? Please do not suggest that I simply use my unix-style text file instead. For other reasons, I want the file to retain the PC-style line terminations. -- % Randy Yates % "With time with what you've learned, %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % they'll kiss the ground you walk %%% 919-577-9882 % upon." %%%% % '21st Century Man', *Time*, ELO http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr
