use_mime
--------

   Type: integer
   Default: 5

   MIME support can be enabled separately for different operations. This
   variable is a bitmapped value that can be set to the sum of any
   combination of the following numbers:

1    decode MIME in the article pager; encode outgoing messages
2    decode MIME when saving articles
4    MIME-encode the local copy of your own articles
8    decode MIME when piping an article

   Thus, a setting of zero generally disables MIME support, while 15
   enables all available MIME features. The default (5=1+4) decodes MIME
   in the pager and encodes messages when sending them and keeping the
   local copy.

   Note: When you make use of character mapping, you should be aware
   that slrn uses the original charset rather than your local one when
   saving and piping messages without decoding them. This is necessary if
   you want MIME-aware programs to work on them correctly.

   Setting this variable has no effect if MIME support has been
   deactivated at compile time.
