Lowell, I have installed metamail and tried it on a few email bundles. It certainly gets the unpacking done. Have you ever used it in a scripted process? I cannot figure out a way to get metamail to quietly unbundle the email into a directory which I have designated for this particular email. metamail wants to prompt for file names. And when I try to override this with the -x switch it simply writes the files to /tmp/. I can't see any way to customise this behaviour... --- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. ___ _ __ / _ )__ __ (_)_ __ ___ _/ /____ __ / __/ -_) _) / ~ ) -_), ,-/ -_) _) /_/ \__/_//_/_/~/_/\__/ \__/\__/_/ http://www.perimeter.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
