[Bug-mit-scheme] confusion about extracting attachments from forwarded mail |

IMAIL/1.21; Edwin/3.116; MIT-Scheme/7.7.90.+ |
==>I received a forwarded message (forwarded by imail),
which looked like this:
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:02:00 -0400
From: address@hidden
To: address@hidden
Subject: address@hidden: CSAIL Annual Meeting Logistics & Agenda]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<imail-part
type="message/rfc822"
from="Victoria Palay"
subject="CSAIL Annual Meeting Logistics & Agenda"
length="203653"
/>
==>I used C-c C-t C-e to display the forwarded message, and saw that
it contained two pdf attachments at the end, like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<imail-part
name="CSAILAgenda_6_22_08.pdf"
type="application/pdf"
length="103678"
/>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<imail-part
name="directions_bost.pdf"
type="application/pdf"
length="95282"
/>
==>C-o while positioned on either of those two attachments did indeed
write out a pdf file, but it wrote the *same* pdf file
(directions_bost.pdf) regardless of which I was positioned on when
I typed control-o.
I started to write to you: "I cannot find a way to see the first
pdf above." but then I looked in the documetntation and found the
w command, so I used it on the imail-part of the original untoggled
message to save the forwarded message as a text file.
Since that's not a mail file, imail couldn't read it in and save
the attachments for me ... So I tried to uudeview it in a shell and
that worked -- I got both pdf files.
Well, I succeeded, but I jumped through some hoops.
Should that have been necessary?
Thanks,
Julie
