Here's the Python program I use to handle mime messages with slrn: http://www.panix.com/~grante/files/unmime.py For multipart/alternative: It will pick the text/plain version if there is one and output that. If there isn't plaintext, it will look for an text/html version and render it with w3m. If there is neither text/plain nor text/html, then it will just output all the parts as best it can. For multipart/mixed: It will show text/plain attachments as-is and will render html attachments using w3m. For other attachments it just outputs some placeholder text. However, I'm not sure that it would be useful as-is in a procmail recipe -- it's intended for use when viewing messages, so you do "loose" attachements that aren't text/plain or text/html. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
