Good question, I havent tried that yet, (but should), but I have been demiming both to help majordomo on servers, & via procmail on local (to reduce bulk on my future archives of personal mail). 2 tools worth knowing in /usr/ports/mail/ : demime emil A few notes from my http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/freebsd/ports/jhs/mail/Makefile.local (where I've also more notes on eg much hated quoted-printable ) -------- SUBDIR += emil # A candidate to be assesed for stripping quoted-printable from # majordomo on server, to help cluless people. # Something needed to replace demime as demime has been removed. # SUBDIR += mime4j # "It won't do any decoding of base64 or quoted-printable # encoded header fields and bodies." SUBDIR += demime # For majordomo on list servers, # For all the many lazy & incompetents who cant turn off sending # HTML to mail lists, despite having had a decade to learn. # (& for a few people who do understand they should, have tried to, but # can''t find where to turn off their HTML, if their ISP even allows. # Missing in FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE so see also SUBDIR += mail/emil -------- > > Is there anything which will take a raw email message > > and spit out linear strings which can be processed like normal > > text? See man emil ; man demime PS Trying to get procmail to work with a macro with a pipe defined after + $RCVSTOREUNSEEN, was a long pain & I failed so I use a longer version below which works, appended for syntax example. RCVSTORE=/usr/local/libexec/nmh/rcvstore RCVSTOREUNSEEN="$RCVSTORE -nounseen" # A 2nd copy, just text, stripped of MIME enclosures is # stored in $PRI_MAIL by $RCVSTOREUNSEEN # The 2nd copy is stored with $RCVSTORE -nounseen so I dont have to # click the archive copy from within exmh. NOMIME="/usr/local/bin/demime -8 -" # Demime is not in current after 9.1-RELEASE # To not demime instead use NOMIME=cat # NOMIME=cat # NOMIME=/usr/local/bin/emil # Emil converts a .jpg MIME to a uuencoded appended without MIME # I can not seem to achieve something like this: # XYZ="$NOMIME | $RCVSTOREUNSEEN" { :0 cw | $NOMIME | $RCVSTOREUNSEEN +$PRI_MAIL/my/archive :0 wc | $RCVSTORE +$INBOX_PLAIN } Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, like a play script.
