Request received by email from robbbeal@mac.com:

Does Mozilla Mail support folders as attachments? If not, please strongly
consider supporting them. This will allow Mac OS X users to effortlessly
send app packages and file bundles.

s/index.html>

The mime type is multipart/x-folder. Use Apple's Mail.app and send yourself
a folder. Look at the raw source in Mail.app to see what the encoding looks
like.

Thanks so much!

Best.

Any reason this should be left Mac-specific?
