Subject: saving all attachments

I received a message yesterday that was 66 MB and contained 565
attachments.  A real whopper!  My system can handle this, but it seems
that pine does not allow me to extract ('save' in pine lingo) all
attachments to files without doing every attachment one at a time.  A
"Save All Attachments" command would be a nice feature.

I was able to use munpack (available for unix and dos) to extract all the
attachments.  But to do that I had to save the *entire* e-mail message to
a file, and I couldn't find a way to make pine do it for me.  (I used
emacs.)  Can the pine 'extract' command be forced to write the entire
message (including mime-encoded attachments) to disk?

	Would be a nice option.  Not sure how easy it would be to
implement...

	Why don't you save the message to a ``new'' folder, thus creating
a copy in that folder.  If you have a problem with getting it in the right
location, you can define a new folder collection.  That's what I do at
least.  It's easiest for me to save in the default collection and move it
if nesscesary...

I must not have been paying attention... When did Pine become able to read
mailboxes >1MB in size?
