Subject: Attachments in Pine from other Mail servers

From: [email-masked]

How do you extract or save attachments sent to you from other mail 
servers.  Example, I often get "ENCODED" documents (MS WORD) that require 
"UUDECODE" to extract?  How is this done??

	Under "normal" conditions and if you are running on a U*IX system
you can use the "|" pipe command (needs to be enabled in the config...)
and pipe (pass) the contents of the message body to a uudecode program.

For other types of encoding, `mpack' and `munpack' are useful tools to
have.

Thanks for the info, but I'm not real proficient in working with Pine 
pipe commands.  Could you give me an example of the syntax used on the 
UNIX.

simply when reading the message, press the "|" key, then type in "uudecode" 
This will result in the file being created in your present directory.

Re: Multiple Attachements

A cautionary note about piping attachments from within Pine.  (tested with
3.95)

If your message contains more than one uuencoded file, the pipe to
uudecode fails.  If you pipe to munpack (a multi-format decoder), the
first file gets decoded and subsequent files are ignored (okay, I only
tried it with two ;) but that's what happened.)

The safest way I've found to decode is to export the message and split the
files into individual uuencoded files and uudecode or munpack each.

	???????

	All you have done is quoted what other people have said....

	Are you saying that your question/comment is in the subject line?
Are you really expecting people to help you with so little information?

Thanks for your help, sorry for the confusion on the previous messages, I 
had to rework my configuration file to solve a problem with sending 
messages.  Please see my last posting on "Comp.mail.pine"

Sorry to all for the confusion.  Apparently I changed my configuration 
file and the result was that only the "Subject:" line would except key 
strokes.  Any attempt to cursor into the ----- Message Text ----- area 
resulted in an error message.  To add insult to injury, instead of 
postponing the message until I could figure out what happened, I sent it 
instead.  Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I attempted to use the "|" (pipe) command while reading a message and got 
the following error message in reverse video [Command "|" Not defined for 
this screen.  Use ? for help]  I went to the help screen and the "|" 
command is listed as an option with no other information?

St Louis University is using a UNIX version of Pine 3.91.  I'm not sure 
this is the most current or if this is a bug!

Thanks to all those who answered the mail, and again, sorry for the 
confusion
