}> X-Mailer: Evolution 2.22.3.1 (2.22.3.1-1.fc9)

dose Evolution convert 'base64' to 'text' during view source?

or, convert to text when email receive?

"tricked" handlers between inet connection and email client?

intelligent email 'handlers', 'servers', 'clients', do not convert
enigmail to 'base64'.

as of this time, 1818 utc, the thread contains;

7 post:  2-enig, 5-b64
my post: 1-enig, 1-b64

b64 posters: op, tim, g, ibmalone
enig posters: g, h.reindl

when i post enigmail, there is not conversion of my post.

when i post unsigned, my post arrives base64.

where and with what is above being inserted?

it would appear "X-MIME-Autoconverted:" is/may be a config within
_your_ email handler??

this is true. and i would if my email client had ability to convert
base64 to text.

convert base64 to text, yes.

other than filter for base64 and convert to text.

i am in research and reading of 'dovecot/*'. now have a 'dovecot'
'chapter' in bookmarks and a local 'dovecot' url icon to a local
'dovecot' html page which is a/an inet and local 'map'.

i already have 'fetchmail chapter'. built over several years. added to
while writing 'dovecot chapter'.

fetchmail is installed. not configed. never run.

setting up server will not be a problem.

problem is a "box" to put it in. 8-(. which is 'r2i' new power supply.

plus side, another box can/will be used as file server also. ;)
