Using mailx to save attachments
Hi,

I have a requirement to save a mail attachment sent from Windows to a Solaris 9 server.

I'm using mailx on the server and have seen a few examples of how to attach a file for sending but none for how to save the attachment when receiving.

I can see the encoded text when I look at the mail but have no idea how to convert it back to a file.

I understand that I can use uudecode but dont understand enough to get this happening (newbie).

Basically how do I get the file out of the mail and save it on the Solaris server?

Thanks in advance
