Hello,

I have snagged a mailbox file from another user, and I wish to extract an
attachment contained within it.

The file has a long cryptic name, and I can see the headers, body and
attachments within it:

Content-Type: application/msword; name="interestingfile.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="interestingfile.doc"

I have hunted everywhere for something to split and decode the attachment
into a standalone file, but can find nothing.  There is a package called
maildir-utils in existence, but I don't know if it does what I want, and
it's not in my distro's repository anyway (Mepis 8.0).

Perhaps it is too simple to document?  Yes I could chop the file at the
boundaries of the attachment, but what tool to decode it?  Even if it's
simple, please put me out of my misery.

Thanks,

Andrew
