NAME
       mmime --	create MIME messages

SYNOPSIS
       mmime [-c | -r] [-t content-type] < message

DESCRIPTION
       mmime  generates	 a  `multipart/mixed' message from the standard	input,
       extending, wrapping, and	encoding the header as necessary, and  replac-
       ing lines in the	message	body of	the form

	     #content/type[#content-disposition] path[>filename]

       with  a	MIME  part having Content-Type content/type, consisting	of the
       contents	of the file found at path.   content-disposition  is  optional
       and defaults to `attachment'.  filename is optional and defaults	to the
       basename	of path.

       The options are as follows:

       -c      Check  mode: don't output anything, exit	with status 1 if MIME-
	       encoding	the message is required, or else exit with status 0.

       -r      Raw mode: don't expand MIME  parts  in  the  body,  generate  a
	       `text/plain' message.

       -t content-type
	       Override	 Content-Type  for  the	 toplevel  part.   Defaults to
	       `multipart/mixed'.

EXIT STATUS
       The mmime utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error	occurs.
