I'm happy to be corrected here, but, I'm fairly certain I have done so in the past, with no ill effect, and, one can always copy the actual file to a new file, anyhow. it was i think uudecode ? first for uuencoded emails, and, munpack for mime encoded, something like 'munpack email_file': NAME munpack - unpack messages in MIME or split-uuencode format SYNOPSIS munpack [ -f ] [ -q ] [ -t ] [ -C directory ] [ filename ... ] DESCRIPTION The munpack program reads each RFC-822 message filename and writes all non-text MIME parts or split-uuencoded files as files. If no filename argument is given, munpack reads from stan- dard input.
