I've been aware of and using ripmime for a few months now, and had no problems 
until today where it failed to create all the mime attached files when they had 
the same name, for two separate emails, both from the same sender.

I can forward this email to anyone who is interested; it's nothing embarrassing 
or private :-)

Here is my command line:

    ripmime -v -i - -d a --no-nameless --infix --debug >log <mail

One of these two failing emails has 8 attachments all called image.jpg.  I have 
saved them manually and they are not the same.  The debug log has lines like 
this:

==== start
MIME_headers.c:1004:MIMEH_fix_header_mistakes:DEBUG: Checking and fixing 
headers in '------=_NextPart_000_0074_01CEB553.34726BB0
Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="image.jpg"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <3461218470_10879>

'
MIME_headers.c:1019:MIMEH_fix_header_mistakes:DEBUG: Located ';' at offset 68 
';        name="image.jpg"
==== end

Here is what the lines look like:

------=_NextPart_000_0074_01CEB553.34726BB0
Content-Type: image/jpeg;
        name="image.jpg"

I tried combining the two lines; no difference.  The offset 68 works counting 
from the beginning of the NextPart mime separator line to the semi-colon ending 
the second line.

I have another email with attachments which works fine and looks similar except 
for putting those two lines together and having a different part separator.

I don't recall having any other problems with ripmime, but of course it's 
possible I just didn't notice.
