I know, this is an old subject: one way to save all attachments in multiple messages is through a macro that invokes ripmime. This macro should be applied to the tagged messages via ';'.
This works fine, as long as the filenames use the native encoding of your operating system. But what if this is not the case? My native encoding, for example, is utf-8, but people send me files whose names use iso-8859-1. ripmime makes no attempt to transcode the filenames, and by the time the file is extracted, the encoding information is lost, and the filename contains gibberish. How can I avoid this? This problem does not occur if I use the built-in saving feature instead. Many thanks.
