This is somewhat off-topic, in that it doesn't relate specifically to 
xmail, but rather to an anti-virus filter that I am attempting to write.

I seem to be having problems with the munpack.exe program out of the XAV 
filter that has been discussed here and is linked from the XMail homepage. 
Note that I am not using the XAV filter directly, preferring to write my own.

When my filter runs munpack.exe, the message is "unpacked" and split into 
it's component pieces, but the pieces are not decoded. For instance, an 
email I am using for test has the eicar.com file placed in it, and when 
munpack finishes, the "unpacked" file contains (each line prefixed in the 
mail editor with ">" to get past my outbound MUA virus scanner):

 >
 >begin 600 eicar.com
 >M6#5/(5`E0$%06S1<4%I8-30H4%XI-T-#*3=])$5)0T%2+5-404Y$05)$+4%.
 >75$E625)54RU415-4+49)3$4A)[EMAIL PROTECTED]"H`
 >`
 >end

rather than the actual binary information. Note that munpack did name the 
file "eicar.com", it just didn't decode the information that should have 
been in the file.

I'm running this from Windows 2000 Server, using XMail 1.16. My filter 
program launches munpack with the following command line:

E:\mpack\munpack.exe -t

The working directory is the directory where the files should be unpacked 
(in this particular case, 
"C:\WINNT\System32\Temp\1062363219133.2448.karen.dir").

Note that I am redirecting STDIN and sending the text of the message from 
my filter app to munpack's (redirected) STDIN.

Any suggestions would be appreciated....
