in reply to PINE, Perl, pipes, and attachments

I might consider ditching Perl in favor of munpack

There will always be something handy that Perl is good for in managing mail, but munpack is definitely cool and wonderful (as is the companion tool, mpack) -- it really rocks with MH-style mail handling, where each message is stored as a separate file, 'cuz I just "munpack msgfile" to get the attachments.

    Apple's next release of osx has a new search tool called Spotlight. One of the "revolutionary new features" is that the Mail app saves every email in it's own file which is then indexed/searched on the hd.

    Not exactly new to us, but I guess it is kind of revolutionary to somebody who has been using, say, Outlook Express :-)
