Re: an idea in search of comments
Last week I asked for comments about using MIME-compliant e-mail messages
as a mechanism for users to downlaod Debian packages. Here's an example
using the hello package as the target.
I used mailto(1) from the metamail package to create this message. No
changes where needed to mailto or any of the metamail files to gain this
functionality.
This first body-part could contain general package information, the user
could then view other attachments/body-parts to get more informatin or
retrieve the packages.

Please let me know what you think about this idea.
Thanks
