All mail readers that have been updated in the last 3-4 years or so
support attachments. pine, mutt, elm, vm, gnus, etc do, and I can't
imagine that any of the graphical mailreaders don't. Attachments are a
part of the MIME standard, it's not some proprietary Windows inven-
tion.

Yes, mmencode should be on your system. Just pipe the base64 data
through mmencode -u.

Try vm, gnus seems more suited for mailing lists.
