Ah! Hi David. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Whilst i've got your attention, it seems i've mis-diagnosed the bug. But I do now know what that the issue is. The script works on all messages except those with Content-Type: Multipart/* I thought it was a permissions problem because the messages i had issues with were in my spoolfile in /var - most mailing list messages, i.e. messages in mailboxes in my home directory are not in that format, leading me to believe the script was having issues executing on messages located under /var. So, it's the MIME type of the message that appears to be the problem. I've tested and tested and different messages, that's where it fails each time. Would you perhaps have a suggestion as to fixing this? (if you have time of course, I don't want to disturb your Thanksgiving holiday.) Best wishes, Jamie.
