Thanks, Patrick and Uday, for your help. While "cat filename | munpack" works in the terminal, the munpack-command in the .vm-file does not. However, the solution is much easier. The suggested c-programs do indeed come with vm and the following lines in my .vm-file do all I want: (setq vm-mime-base64-decoder-program "base64-decode") (setq vm-mime-base64-encoder-program "base64-encode") Best, Salome -- Salome Södergran For e-mail-replies please use: salome dot soedergran at gmx dot ch
