Since mhn doesn't automatically figure out types or understand ~, I
wrote the following perl script to do it for me.  Basically you run it
out of a shell escape in your editor and something like

	ifile ~/pics/disser.jpg
        ifile -ftp ~/pics/disser.jpg
        ifile -tar ~/pics/disser.jpg

returns

	#image/jpeg /afs/engin.umich.edu/u/d/i/disser/pics/disser.jpg
	#@image/jpeg [] access-type=FTP ; \
	     name="/afs/engin.umich.edu/u/d/i/disser/pics/disser.jpg" ; \
	     site="rosencrantz.engin.umich.edu"
	#application/octet-stream ; type=tar ; \
	     conversions=x-compress /tmp/ifile.20708

Granted, the tar and ftp part could work better, but it's more convenient
than the alternative.

Script follows...
