Re: Decoding BinHex4.0
Quoting Tony ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > I usually do this (long-winded): > save <> > hexbin -d <> > mv attachmnent-name.data attachment-name For this reason, I usually use uudeview and just run it on the whole mailbox containing the attachment(s). It finds them automatically and you can choose which to decode. Very rarely do you have to pull an individual attachment out of the file. > ^On Wed, 24 May 2000, Sebastian Canagaratna wrote: > ^ > ^> What is the way to decode an email obtain with attachments which say > ^> they need to be decoded with BinHEx4.0?

Re: Decoding BinHex4.0
David: Just after posting the note I found that there was a package in main/otherofs called macutils. I used apt-get install macutils and it gave a file which I think is called hixbin. It insall the mime to use hexbin when it comes across The BinHex format and it seems to work, i.e., it writes it to a file. I was then able to look at it. These were word files so I was able to use word2x to convert them to text or latex. I hope this helps. > > Sebastian > > I have a similar problem with correspondents who use a Macintosh.

Re: Decoding BinHex4.0
Sebastian I have a similar problem with correspondents who use a Macintosh. I get BinHex'ed attachments too. If you have success in finding an unBinHex-er I'd appreciate your sharing. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
