HOW TO MAKE

  Just type make, then you will get:

    libmimekit.a  -- common library which is used also in DeleGate.
    deMime -- MIME to local code decoder (header,CTE, and JIS-code)
    enMime -- local code to MIME encoder

HOW TO USE

  enMime < infile > outfile  -- encode/decode a MIME message
  deMime < infile > outfile  --

  enMime [ -b | -q ] < infile > outfile -- encode/decode data in 
  deMime [ -b | -q ] < infile > outfile -- base64 | quoted printable

FOR OLD USERS

  A patch for nntpd included in the previous version (mimehead1.2.4)
  is removed, because it is obsoleted by the DeleGate with
  libmimekit.a which relays NNTP, SMTP and POP protocols as a proxy
  server, converting relayed messages about MIME encoding, Japanese
  charcter encoding and HTML character entities.
