If you don't care about breaking signatures, and would rather be able to delete attachments no matter what, I have a patch: http://www.kurokatta.org/hacks/src/mutt-1.5.13-rmattach.patch It was meant for PGP-encrypted messages; hopefully it works for S/MIME as well. -- David Haguenauer pgpSuzoucWI8X.pgp Description: Digital signature
Can not delete attachements
I am receiving emails from a colleague that have the following attachements:- 1 [ 10M] ""7bit multipart/alternative 2 [ 3.6K] "" quoted-printable text/plain 3 [ 10M] "" 7bit multipart/mixed 4 [ 3.8K] "" quoted-printable text/html 5 [ 9.4M] "H2-paper.docx" base64 application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocess 6 [ 0.2K] "" 7bit text/html 7 [ 816K] "H2-paper.pdf"base64 application/pdf 8 [ 2.5K] "" quoted-printable text/html 9 [ 7.2K] "smime.p7s" base64 application/pkcs7-signature I can save the docx and pgf files, but having done so, I want to delete them from the email, which of course I want to save. However it will not let me. It is something to do with the smime.p7s signiture. How can I delete the large files? Any help eould be appreciated. Cheers, Brian. -- Brian Salter-Duke (Brian Duke) b_d...@bigpond.net.au Melbourne, Australia.

Beside the script "mutt.octet.filter" I wrote a wrapper for this kind of
(M$) garbage ;-)
I defined it in my ~/.mailcap and it redefines the mime-type according
to the file extension and hand it over to mime-utils again. It could be
much more generic by reading ~/.mime.types and using this as a decision
base or you might rewrite it in a scripting lang with some mime-libs
(perl, python), but that was beyond the scope of my needs...

Go into the attachment menu with v (it is the default key binding), select the attachment and type ctrl-e to edit the mime type of the attachment to what it should have been. The change isn't pernament (it will not be written to disk) but will last as long as the current mailbox is open. If you often have attachments with wrong types, you may also consider to automate the process by using macros. -- Byrial http://home.worldonline.dk/~byrial/

Obviously you're going to have to tell Mutt what kind of attachment you're dealing with, or else a command to process it with. You can use 'v' to go into theattachments list, and pipe individual attachments to a program. If you have a script that will feed stdin to xv (or whatever), you can pipeto that script. Or, if you want to automate more, you can pipe to a program that takes the content-type on the command line, and uses metamail to invoke the correct viewer no matter what. Then you can set up macros, one for each kind of data you receive as octet-stream, that will try viewing the attachment as a single type. OR, you can write a script that saves the stdin to a tmp file, use "file" to determine what kind of data is in it, and invokes metamail on the corresponding content-type. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

Your mime.types file should pick up on the extension and let mutt treat the file as image/jpeg, at which point your setting for image/jpeg take over. This is described in the manual under "Mutt's MIME Support". -- Bob Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - "There are two major products to have come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX" -- Author Unknown

You could try the "octet-stream-filter" that someone has. It's used to handle application/octet-stream files, it works by trying to look at the content and try to figure out what kind of file it is, then doing the Right Thing for that kind of file (I think, I don't use it myself). I also don't have the URL handy, but it should be available in the list archives at least. Possibly also on the Links page at www.mutt.org. Hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

If you can't get mailcap to take care of it, just pipe it to 'xli stdin' or equivalent. If there is no facility in your image viewer for reading from standard input, you'll need to write a wrapper script to save the standard input to file, invoke the viewer, then delete the file. This is basically the same as the %s system in the mailcap file, but you are taking matters into your own hands. -- - Bruce
Attachements
I had a look at the docs, but could not find a way to handle bad attachements ie : jpeg images attached as "application/octet-stream" insted of "image/jpeg". Does someone know a way to view them directly instead of first saving them on the disk ???

The attached perl script handles removing of the tnef attachment##
it's worked for me. (might want to test with a large assortment of message to
make sure that you're not loosing the attachments.)

Yeah they are really annoying. What's even worse is the air heads who think it's really cool that they can send pretty formatted text as email, without thinking or caring that they are making it harder for anybody who doesn't use their own proprietary mail programs. I tend to get stiff-necked and tell them i can't read their mail, it's got some kind of "strange junk" in it,... can they please configure their mailer to send plain text? At work we use Lotus Notes for email. While I think there are a lot of things wrong with using a kitchen-sink as a mailer, at least one thing they got right was that when you send pretty formatted text outside the company all that arrives at the other end is nice plain 80-column ASCII. <\gripe-mode> -- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe it should make hard use of OLE stuff or something alike. Anyway, it has nothing of use. To my mind, at least. :) Formattings, attachment placement, etc. Yes, sometime this very attachment may contain all the stuff, but this is rather rare. You may try to ask your [usual] correspondents to turn so called `Rich-text' option off when sending e-mail to you. -- Mike

Is there any patch, utility, script or something which can decode typical MS-attachements like [applica/ms-tnef, base64, 1.4M] As I continually get these type of attachements life is really annoying, as I can't decode them (and the senders won't attach in another format). -- Christian Stigen Larsen -- http://www.sublevel3.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~chrisl/
