Re: Mime attachments
MAILIT with TEST option sends the result to your reader. That is, the mail body and the attachments. If that format suits you, an extra option would be easily added. Your phrasing seems to suggest you'd like to get two files: the mail body and the attachments. That would require a bit extra work to the PIPE in MAILIT's SendNetDataFile subroutine. 2008/3/27, A. Harry Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm looking for a utility that would take an email file and create the files that are mime attachments on disk. There are several examples of the reverse on the VM downloads page (MAILIT, etc) or there is the SENDFILE, but there is nothing I can find that deals handling a file that has attachments (Yes, there is MAILBOOK, but I'm looking for something for automation). I know there would have to be some restrictions due to namespace and other issues, and I'm willing to live with some, but I haven't seen anything out there. Before I look at writing something crude to do the minimum I need, is there anything I'm missing in my search? /ahw -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
Re: Mime attachments
What about Victor Strasser's OFSMIME package. The README file includes: ---snip--- OFSMime Package V2.1.1 2000-02-08 == E-mail is not just text anymore. The Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (mime) standard allows information in just about any digital format to be sent as an attachment to a note. OFSMime is a mime add-on for OfficeVision/VM. It requires no modifications to your OfficeVision environment to function, and only minor customization to fully integrate it for your users. ---snip--- Even if it's not an exact match (works great with email processed by PROFS, and I'm told, OV/VM), it could be a source of inspiration for your own perspiration.

Re: Mime attachments
ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/mpack/ munpack is a fairly simple C program that does what you want (eats a MIME-formatted input file with multiple MIME elements) and writes the individual elements to files. You'll need to tweak the filename handling (or use it in a BFS environment), but it should compile cleanly on CMS. There are also Perl implementations of similar tools, which will run with Neale's port of Perl5 for OpenVM. -- db
Re: Mime attachments
I have a program that sits around waiting for e-mails to arrive in its reader queue, then strips out HTML attachments into separate files. Would that be of interest?
