Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi there. I'm looking for someone to adopt the ytnef family of packages. I personally don't have a use for this package anymore. It is useful when people who use Outlook send you attachments, but I've since converted everyone I care about to programs that speak MIME.
There haven't been any upstream releases since I uploaded the package the first time, but there are a few things you can do, like make it easier for people to integrate this into their procmail filter. Here's the canned description: Yerase's TNEF Stream Reader allows you to decode application/ms-tnef e-mail attachments, which are usually entitled "winmail.dat" and are generally a file container format that is only readable by Microsoft Outlook. Some TNEF streams also include RTF-formatted data. . ytnef parses these streams into normal MIME attachments and RTF attachments that you can read from non-Outlook mail readers. . A convenience script is provided to allow users to transparently filter messages containing TNEF attachments into messages with proper attachments, via procmail. Feel free to go ahead and just hijack the package if you are interested. I will keep on maintaining it until then. -Josh -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
