There's two answers to this that I can think of. The first is to use
mha-decode, which on my machine is part of the MHonArc-2.4.9-1mdk
package. The second is to use a small perl script. There's a perl module
called MIME::Parser which seems to be reasonably standard. To use it is
as easy as:
perl -e 'use MIME::Parser;$p=new
MIME::Parser;$p->output_under(".");$p->extract_uuencode(1);$e=$p->parse(\*STDIN);' <
MESSAGE
and that will create a directory under the current one that contains
each part of your mime message in a different file. You could even go
for this slightly more exotic version:
perl -e 'use MIME::Parser;$p=new
MIME::Parser;$p->output_under(".");$p->extract_uuencode(1);$e=$p->parse(\*STDIN);$e->dump_skeleton;'
< MESSAGE
to have it spit out a summary of each of the parts it decoded.
HTH,
James.
