Thanks, that works. Though, when I put it into a shell script to be called out of the aliases db I run into trouble. It seems as though mha-decode never outputs to standard out and so my pipe is useless. Here's the script:

If you are using Outlook, select and the messages you plan to archive and forward them (as attachments) to an account that stores mail in a more traditional format. Then you can use MHonArc's mha-decode program with the -dcd-digest option to extract the message attachments into separate files that you can than use for archival purposes. Note, to feed the message files into MHonArc, you will have to do the following: . Give the directory you extracted the files to as the folder argument to mhonarc. . Either set MHPATTERN appropriately to properly match the filenames of the message files when invoking mhonarc. Or rename the files to numeric only filenames before invoking mhonarc. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
