(1) In dealing with Thunderbird-produced eml files that contain
multiple attachments, you encounter the following problems:
(a) Each attempt fails because tempdesc.txt already exists (a
"sudo find / -type f -name "tempdesc.txt" proves it doesn't, not anywhere).
(b) Thunderbird uses exactly the same name for each attachment,
which is "Attached Message". You can't do a bulk unpack, since the
attachments will just overwrite each other. Mozilla now has a bug
report on this. I see that munoack should append double digits to the
unacked name, but double digitd might not be enough if a lot of files
get moved this way.
(c) Mpack and munpack do not recognize the "--help" option. In
failing to do so,they still give some indication about options, but do
not explain them. Fortunately there is a man page for mpack and
munpack, so if the user knows about man, they can get some answers.
This has been flagged as a minor' problem. I disagree. As matters
stand, munpack will not do its job at all. That problem with
tempdesc.txt won't let it.
Regards.
