Tell me where to find these programs and I will be happy to try them.

You do not need to setup Celeste for mail reading. Just use the "mail to
list" command from a changesorter. This employs straight SMTP.
Yes, that was the very first thing I tried. The very FIRST.

Fine. However, for distributing Squeak changesets we agreed on MIME
attachments. It would be nice if you accepted this.
Who's this "we"? _I_ never agreed to it.
Look, I have made a good faith attempt to send these messages using
Squeak tools, and I have sent the last two hours, one way and another,
shipping files around machines trying to make this work the way it's
apparently wanted. I don't like being jumped all over for using a
traditional method.
(Along the way, Squeak + Acrobat together have frozen my Mac once
and Squeak on its own dropped me into the boot prom debugger once.)
Bert Freudenberg's is the first actually _helpful_ message about this.
Thanks for suggesting these programs.
Next time someone has this problem, perhaps the first response
should be to quote a few download URLs.
