It has been a while since I tried however. I just looked at info and yes, it does support MIME. It works okay in that it calls metamail which may lanch another window to display the text and push the files into the /tmp directory. Metamail seems like the right tool for me to use from the command line, though (thanks dman) but I have a hard time remembering the command to un-do mime; I think "mimedecode" or "mi..." something. There is a packaged entitled mimedecode but it just pushes data to stdout as opposed to making a file with the right name. Thank you everyone! Elizabeth

That was the only thing that gnus didn't do well for me. At a time when I was having to deal with a lot of attachments -- often M$ -- I couldn't get gnus to handle them well.

Dunno if this one was mentioned I've used a utility called ripmime in the past don't believe there is a package for it though.

It seems, from your X-Mailer header, that you're using Gnus. Doesn't it do MIME? Or is it the base64 encoding? Anyway, to answer your question, metamail(1) is likely what you're looking for. Note that the input you supply to this command should have the headers included, especially the Content-Type header. Richard

Maybe 'metamail' is what you're looking for? -D -- I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.

Hi, I've been receiving MIME encoded messages in the mail from someone. These are base64 encoded and I'm having trouble extracting them. Is there a good command-line tool for doing this (please don't menion mutt)? Thank you, Elizabeth
