Re: [Nmh-workers] Sending Binary Attachments

moving hymie's off-list question back on-list, because he points
out a flaw in my script.

indeed, the script assumes the header separator ends in a ':'.  that's
a local customization that i had completely forgotten about -- as
distributed, the MH header separator is all dashes.

i have no idea why i changed it; it was so very long ago.
