Yes there is a show= option in the CONFIG file... comment out
the hide= line and add a line like this (if it's not there
somewhere)...
show=Date From Subject
as for metamail I can't help you. I use UUDEVIEW and specify the
the save directory on the command line (defined in the CONFIG file)...
perhaps there is a metamail command line option where to save
files? (but a quick browse of the man page on my shell doesn't
seem to indicate any).
you could try the save-directory= in your config file... it will
control where UUencoded files are decoded, but i'm not sure if
it affects anything else or not...
