I've been feeling a need for that recently, too. While I wouldn't mind moving away from procmail, this is its only drawback for me. Could a filter that decodes just the base64-encoded parts of a message solve the problem? It should be fairly simple, esp. if it can rely on an existing decoder such as base64, openssl, or MIME::Base64. And if it doesn't worry about signature verification. I run a script that de-base64's text/plain parts of messages so that I can grep them. I invoke it manually after inc'ing the message, but automatically decoding upstream would save me a step. It uses nmh programs (mhlist, and mhshow or mhstore) so is too kludgy other than as a proof of concept that maybe has been a bit too successful. > perhaps it would be worth it to fix slocal, but i'm not > sure it has some of the other flexibility i might want -- > multiple conditions, nested conditions, etc. (am i wrong > about that?) I agree with you and Ken that slocal isn't worth extending.
