Comment:

I'm trying to send file attachments via the VMS mail utility. Everything I send goes out as part of the message body rather than as an attachment. I'm assuming I need to specify some sort of MIME spec, but I don't know how.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thanks. Both suggestions lead me in 2 different directions, but both were very helpful.
It appears that the MIME utility with VMS is, shall we say, incomplete???
