My Tech Notes

Even the best Web-based and standalone e-mail clients, like gmail or thunderburd, do not allow users to directly access MIME parts of an e-mail message (though some simpler clients like KMail do).

To solve this problem, many special utilities exist. One such utility is mimedump from Benjamin Elijah Griffin.

Get it here: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/EL/ELIJAH/mimedump.75

Install all required CPAN packages, especially File::NFSLock;

and use it like that

mimedump.pl /tmp/output_dir message_file

Labels: mail, mime, perl
