Can't help much with metamail. I gave up on it and got munpack which
does almost the same thing but apparently doesn't handle all the mime
types. Another detraction is that it just saves mime attaches to a
directory and doesn't start any apps to view/process the attaches.
Don't know if metamail does that, I didn't really give it the effort it
probably deserves, munpack was so easy and it does what I need for now.
I use:
decode-mime=mymime.cmd %f
Mymime.cmd is a REXX script I wrote. It calls munpack.exe then looks at
the files munpack extracts from the message and starts the appropriate
application. Works great (automatic) for me for gif, jpeg and mpeg, so
far. I will be incorporating more types soon, it's freeware.
If you or anyone else is interested I'll post it, it's only 30 lines or
less. Or email me for a copy, my newsfeed is not reliable.
