I wrote a tool for replacing non-text attachments in email with text versions. It's at http://raf.org/textmail.
As I said in my previous mail, textmail does a wonderful job reducing my email list folders by eliminating all HTML from them. But I also have an archive Maildir folder with years of mail with attachments (PDF, maybe some .DOC, too) that I'd like to have extracted from there as independet files into an attachments directory before they get removed or replaced with text, much like Eudora did (or does, I used it last on 1999). Could textmail help with that part, too? Or is there another tool that you guys know of that could? It'd be great if I could do the same for incoming mail. At the moment, I just download it with mbsync, read it with Mutt and manually save any attachment I need/want to keep (files with forms I need to fill out or print or sign, etc.) and then delete them from the mail to save space. It'd be wonderfull if I could have the attached files saved into my attachments folder and the either replaced by text or deleted by textmail. I'd love if it could be done via imapfilter directly to the IMAP server (with the attached files being saved locally, of course), but I could live if it needed to be done locally and then synced back to the IMAP server. Any idea on that, please? Cheers, Ángel
