   All except this part, apparently:

      You can use the MIME utility to roll your own MIME-encoded message
      from DCL, and then SEND the message.

There's also a (not-well-advertised) VMS-compatible mpack kit available
from at least one place:

   Attachments must be coded appropriately to preserve non-text
("binary") data when transmitted through a medium (e-mail) which was
designed to accommodate only text.  Ideally, the encoding scheme chosen
would be one which the receiver can decode.  MIME is the popular one
these days.  For more infomation, see, for example:
