NAME
       extcompose  -  Compose  a reference to external data for inclusion in a
       mail message

SYNOPSIS
       extcompose  file-name

DESCRIPTION
       The extcompose program will allow a user on a  properly-equipped	 work‐
       station	to  enter  the appropriate data to enable a mail message he is
       sending to make reference to "external" data, that is, data that is not
       included	 in the mail message itself  but is otherwise available on the
       network via a suitable mechanism.

       The user will be prompted for all necessary information.	 External data
       may  be	referenced  as	local or AFS files, as files available for FTP
       (anonymous or authenticated), or as data	 available  via	 a  mailserver
       mechanism.  The user will be asked to provide a MIME content-type value
       to describe the type of data being referenced, and to  specify  whether
       or  not the data has been encoded with one of the algorithms for encod‐
       ing data for email.  (Such encoding is not necessary, and  is  in  fact
       inefficient and silly when used with externally referenced data.)

       This  program  is intended primarily to be called from mailcap files by
       programs like mailto(1).
