it seems I don't have
# munpack
bash: munpack: command not found
though, I have mmencode and metamail if these are any good to me ?
I can easily find the desired file in say:
/home/voytek/Maildir/cur
# ls -l 10963298*

I've read the email already, so, it can go, but, I'd like to detach the
1.9 MB PDF, as it needs to end up on this server, anyhow
so, I would like to be able, every so often, to process a mail file as to
detach the attached file(s)
this email contains,like:
....
------=_NextPart_001_0081_01C4A541.B01D1610--
------=_NextPart_000_0080_01C4A541.B01D1610
Content-Type: application/pdf;
name="TARGI 2005.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="TARGI 2005.pdf"
.....
this is not for some automated processing, but, an ocassional comman line
detach of a known source email file
