unrtf is version 0.19.3-1.1 from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS repository. I guess I'll have to see about finding a newer copy and see if that fixes it.
However, unless I can identify a test case, I won't really know if it's fixed. Is there anyway to identify a specific mail message based on the file name in the unrtf command line that piler launches?
