       NAME
             binarsys - remote system information for the ckbinarsys
             command

       DESCRIPTION
             binarsys contains lines of the form:

                   remote_system_name:val

             where val is either Y or N.  This line indicates whether that
             particular remote system can properly deal with messages
             having binary content.  The absence of an entry for a
             particular system or absence of the binarsys file altogether
             will imply No.

             Blank lines or lines beginning with # are considered comments
             and ignored.  Should a line of Default=y be encountered, the
             default condition for missing entries described in the
             previous paragraph is reversed to be Yes.  Another line of
             Default=n will restore the default condition to No.

             mail is distributed with the binarsys file containing only a
             Default=y line.
