[approved] Continuing problems with converting Eudora.

["David D. Piney" <d.piney@victoria.tc.ca>]

I'm trying to learn the perl language but it's frustrating, since I'll use 
it so rarely. Should I create an RC file to address the very wide 
horizontal scroll bar problem, and the removal of html in the converted 
messages from eudora's stationery? (Yet the tags still remain in message body)

I've tried editing the def.mime.mrc with a mimeargs attachcheck maxwidth=60 
entry with no luck.

I don't have a def.mime.mrc file to edit, that I could find. And I 
experimented extensively with rc file construction with the last version 
with no luck. I'm not sure where to focus my effort with this new version?

I don't need anything fancy, just a way to post email information on my 
website.

Could you provide the syntax I need?

I hope it's not too much trouble. I really appreciate it.

david.
