	I don't know what the problem is, but I haven't been able to get 
	Munpack to decode any attached messages sent with Pine.  Munpack
	gives me the message "Nothing to unpack."  Yet when I look at the 
	file with a text editor it says it's encoded with the MIME format.
	Anyone know what the problem is??

Starting with version 1.4, mpack can detect and decode Pine
attachments without being given the -t switch.
