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...
