(big smile & i hope the weather isn't too bad in Newcastle at the moment)
this really isn't very fair to either of us:

Mr Hall inquired about  TYPE="file" ,  form submissions  &  attachments.
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^     ^^^^^^^^^^^
your messages 981101-3 had Subject  ENCTYPE="multipart/formdata"
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
& discussed  form-based file-uploading ,  Content-Transfer-Encode ,
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
& the relations of  RFC  7-bit  &  CTE headers .
                    ^^^  ^^^^^     ^^^^^^^^^^^
i'm well aware of the wide gaps in my own knowledge,
but how many lynx-devers could tell you if these topics had ANY relationship?
AFAIK what you discussed last month is quite different from Mr Hall's problem:
could you try to enlighten us about how your labors might have helped him?
