  Prerequisites for using MIME? 
 The Question is:
 
I Just read all the notes here about  the new MIME utility...
Great news, It was needed. but Under the restrictions in help it implies
that if I create mime attachment for a file and send in mail
to another machine where the client uses and IMAP  ( Netscape  )
mail reader, they cannot  read/see the attathment. Is this true?
 Question 2.  when I  try to create a new file to send out I get
and error/warning. and no file gets created. I have tried the
$mime &lt;filename&gt; from dcl prompt and the open/new &lt;filename&gt;
from the mime prompt.
   $ mime newfile.txt
    Mime&gt; add login.com
%MIME-W-NOMSGOPEN, No currently active message
    mime&gt; close
    mime&gt; save
    mime&gt; exit
 
    $ mime
    mime&gt; open/new test.txt
%RMS-E-FNF, file not found
%MIME-W-NOMSGOPEN, No currently active message
 
The documention I have states this is how I would create a new file. What I am
 i missing. Any help would be apprieciated...

 The Answer is :
 
  Please see the SFF information discussed here, and please ensure you
  have the current MIME ECO kit and the current TCP/IP Services V5.0A
  with ECO or (better) V5.1 (or later) installed.
 
  In particular, please see topic (4492) for details on MIME and SFF.
