Well, I've looked into this and the best I can come up with is the attached.
It suffers from two problems:
1. All the attachments end up in the MD-2 directory.
2. The attachments are named by the first part of the author's email address
(multiple msgs by the same author will overwrite older ones)
I can potentially solve both of these problems, but it relies on being able
to work out the number of messages in MD-2's currently active window.
AFAIK, this is impossible with the current ARexx port.
BTW To use the attached script (assuming it is of any use, that is, which I
doubt), copy it into the MD/Rexx dir, open the newsgroup you want to run it
on, and then select it from the ARexx menu.
