Full Discussion: Reading the Attachment from UNIX email
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Reading the Attachment from UNIX email Post 302992006 by Oliver Burns on Monday 20th of February 2017 01:59:23 PM
Old 02-20-2017
These are emails coming from another system to my unix mailbox. They have an attachment made up of lines of data. I want to isolate them, convert from base64, then send them on for further processing. The other emails could be anything but none of them will have an attachments. That's why I was trying to look at only the ones that had this on a line: filename="Report_attachment 2017-01-28.csv". The date would change so I would only search for filename="Report_attachment. I thought if I found that line in the mail file, then found the space afterwards, then start reading in the data until I hit another space. But I'm open to any suggestions.

NAME

       claws-mail-attach-remover -- Attachments remover from mails

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-attach-remover

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       claws-mail-attach-remover is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer.

       Enables	the removal all of attachments from emails.  When right-clicking a message on summary view, choose ``Remove attachments'' from the
       displayed submenu.

USAGE

       Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup.

       For this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button  and
       select the plugin file, named att_remover.so, and press the ``Open'' button.

BUGS

       There is no way you can select individual attachments for removal.  It's all or nothing.

SEE ALSO
