You could do it interactively (for testing purposes) by typing : (colon) followed by the macro definition above, i.e., :macro index Ys... by making a text file whose content is the macro definition and sourcing it from mutt :source filename.txt or by adding it to you ~/.mutt/muttrc file so that it is loaded automatically on the next mutt startup. Afterwards, you should be able to call the macro when you are in the 'index' view. You could replace Ys to the key sequence of your choice to call the macro. > > What could I doing wrong? > > -- > Marcelo > -- o W.

Thanks - yes, my intention was just to demo the approach. I've done a few MIME walks in Python so this was a simple modification of some existing code. Even with many years of mutt experience I think rolling this up last night was faster than getting something steady and sturdy going with mutt macros, and I have more confidence in it. There's certainly room to improve if anyone wants to take this further, and you've raised a good point above. A few things ought to be sanitized more. -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us signature.asc Description: PGP signature

You can pipe a message into this program (within mutt or elsewhere): | mutt-savefiles /tmp/foo It will create a directory under /tmp/foo named for the message's message-id, and store each attachment inside. Filenames are taken from the MIME or generated sequentially if there is no filename. Just an aside, now often do you encounter "/" in a Message-ID? It is legal, and has long discouraged me from the otherwise obvious and inuitive name-a-file-after-the-message-id. #!/usr/bin/env python [...] That is very nice, even cleaner than I imagined it might be.

Maybe you could use the program 'ripmime' directly from bash. I found it in the debian repositories. I use it manually through a mutt macro macro index Ys "| ~/.mutt/saveattachments\n" "Save attachments" in my muttrc file. The script 'saveattachments' is the following #!/bin/bash # put filenames into arguments # empty directory unless it is already empty set - ~/attachments/* [ "$*" != "$HOME/attachments/*" ] && rm ~/attachments/* ripmime -i - -d ~/attachments I always use the same directory to save the attachments manually, but I guess the lines above may be modified to let mutt save the attachments automatically in the desired directory. -- o W.
