I have been in a situation where the Next-Attachment: header line has been lost. One example is when the mail is distributed through a Listserv list on BITNET. Although in an ideal world it would be best if unrecognized header lines were left untouched, they in fact are removed. The question is: what is the format of the line beyond the file name, that is what is the source of the magic numbers contained in the Next-Attachment: header line? I thank you for the information and so does my boss.

One example is when the mail is distributed through a If the mail consists of just 1 mail entry ( as probably indicated by "1/1" on the line, you can first extract the main mail body. And [1] uudecode [2] uncompress ( or use zcat) by zcat file.Z >file.tar [3] un-tar by tar -xvf tarfile Then, you get bunch of files, one of which is an RTF file for text, and others for attachments. I don't know what other numbers on the line mean, but I don't think they are needed to unpack NeXTmails, unless (possibly) mail is divided into multiple parts. Izumi Ohzawa izumi@violet.berkeley.edu
