a problem with "File::readAll( remote file )" on a remote file: the method File::_getFilePointer checks the following // Check it exists

Latest cvs copy of File.php doesn't have this problem. However I would prefer Mail_Mime not to rely on the File:: class. A simple loop should be fine here.
     
where do you see the problem with that? is it not that packages are made to make work easier for each other? and since File exists what's the reason not to rely on it? i thought that was one of the advantages PEAR would bring too!
It's wrong to introduce such depencies when the amount of code and the benefits are small. Think that a dependency involves more overhead (I/O access, memmory, code speed, admin work, ...). ok, that's true. got u :-)
