Hi all,
Issue: I've been tasked with extracting a bunch of MIME attachments (M$Word docs) from emails which have been stored in an imap folder in /home/<username>/mail/<imap foldername>. As the subject states, the imap folder is about 700MB.
Googling suggested that munpack might do the trick, but as it is intended only for one message at a time, it outputs the first attachment found, then exits gracefully.
Further searches seemed to talk about mimedump, so I yum installed perl-MIME-tools.noarch from rpmforge as mimedump this was needed, and includes mimedump.
I've read the man page, but am wholly unclear as to: 1) will this do the trick for me 2) are there other known tools which might be recommended
Thanks in advance, -Ray
System runs CentOS 5.1, not updated since April, but it is not connected to the internet (I do bring it online to install packages as needed); I will do a complete upgrade before the end of this month.
