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 replacing 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.
