MIMEEXPLODE(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation MIMEEXPLODE(1) NAME mimeexplode - explode one or more MIME messages SYNOPSIS mimeexplode <mime-msg-file> <mime-msg-file> ... someprocess | mimeexplode - DESCRIPTION Takes one or more files from the command line that contain MIME mes- sages, and explodes their contents out into subdirectories of the cur- rent working directory. The subdirectories are just called "msg0", "msg1", "msg2", etc. Existing directories are skipped over. The message information is output to the stdout, like this: Message: msg3 (inputfile1.msg) Part: msg3/filename-1.dat (text/plain) Part: msg3/filename-2.dat (text/plain) Message: msg5 (input-file2.msg) Part: msg5/dir.gif (image/gif) Part: msg5/face.jpg (image/jpeg) Message: msg6 (infile3) Part: msg6/filename-1.dat (text/plain) This was written as an example of the MIME:: modules in the MIME-parser package I wrote. It may prove useful as a quick-and-dirty way of splitting a MIME message if you need to decode something, and you don't have a MIME mail reader on hand. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS None yet.
