Attachments in other email programs Pine and Elm, available on our UNIX machines on campus, are other popular email programs on campus. Pine is a MIME-compliant email program and allows you to send and receive attachments. Elm has also been configured with MIME-compliance. You can check the online Pine or Elm documentation for details on how to do it. The main difference is that since most attached files are Macintosh and PC files you will need to FTP the file from the UNIX mail server to your Macintosh or PC before you can open it in the appropriate application.
Attachments are an extremely useful feature of today's email programs.
We hope this article has better prepared you for both sending and receiving them.
