mimeto7bit(1M)                   DG/UX R4.11                  mimeto7bit(1M)


NAME
       mimeto7bit - encode MIME message into 7-bit message

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/mail/mimeto7bit < mime-message > encoded-mime-message

DESCRIPTION
       mimeto7bit is a utility that may be used by a mail transport agent to
       convert non-7-bit MIME messages into 7-bit MIME messages.  The mail
       message, read from standard input, must be a MIME message (mime-
       message).  Any parts of the message that have a Content-Transfer-
       Encoding heading of 8bit or binary will have its contents converted
       to quoted-printable or base64, respectively.

       If the message is not a MIME message, the conversion will fail.

       The converted message is written to standard output.

       If a user receives an 8bit or binary message, mimeto7bit can be used
       to translate the message into a form metamail can understand.

SEE ALSO
       mail(1), mime(5)

NOTE
       The DG/UX system's SMTP currently does not use mimeto7bit.
