Re: Attachments (Was Re: Bleh - MS attachements)
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.)

## Remove the ms-tnef attachments

:0 f
| $PMDIR/remove-attachment" "$MATCH
}

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).
