Hello Folks,

Can anyone point me in the right direction for:
1. the proper method to send attachments to a Listserv list?
2. proper list config.info?
3. a list of MIME header[s] that are honored by Listserv?
   - Our e-mail clients each had a different idea of the proper
     MIME headers to send.

Description:
- Recently we had an time sensitive announcement, that needed to be
  send to the recpients of (2) large lists, in the form of a PDF
  file. We made several test deliveries using different e-mail clients
  to different Listserv lists. We could not get successful results
  with any of our combinations and resorted to a brute force mass
  mailing without using Listserv.


Listserv list config:
- we tried both "Attachments= All"  vs. "Attachments= Yes"

  ... from the help pages...
   Indicate whether attachments should be sent to the list.
  "Yes" allows only MIME attachments,
  "All" allows UUENCODED attachments as well.

e-mail client's attempted:
- Pine 4.33
- Mutt v??
- SilkyMail 1.1.10
- these may not be "main stream" clients, but they are widely
  used at the university

  Pine          Pine            - o.k.
                Mutt            - some times
                SilkyMail       - some times

  Mutt          Pine            - some times
                Mutt            - some times
                SilkyMail       - some times

  SilkyMail     Pine            - some times
                Mutt            - some times
                SilkyMail       - some times


Thanks in advance,
Bill
