SIMPLIFY(1) General Commands Manual SIMPLIFY(1)NAME
simplify - a script to simplify a MIME message
SYNOPSIS
simplify [args ...] < message > othermessage
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the simplify command. simplify is a Perl script to simplify a MIME message.
This script never loads the entire message into memory, but does dump it's entire contents to disk once.
OPTIONS
mime=no
Don't use MIME, no HTML mail allowed.
testing=yes
Run in testing mode (suppress randonmess)
saveall=yes
Save all attachments to files.
temp=/path/to/working/dir/
Defaults to /tmp.
url=http://box/path/
URL-prefix for printing paths to attachments
header=text...
Text preceding the attachment URL list.
textsig=/path/to/file
Text signature to append to text parts.
htmlsig=/path/to/file
HTML signature to append to HTML parts.
If "saveall" is yes, then the script will save all attachments to disk so people can access their contents later. If an URL is specified
then that automatically implies "saveall=yes". Without this, the default behavior is to only save text and html parts, and delete them and
all working directories when the script is finished.

MU-EXTRACT(1) General Commands Manual MU-EXTRACT(1)NAME
mu_extract - display and save message parts (attachments), and open them with other tools.
SYNOPSIS
mu extract [options] <file> mu extract [options] <file> <pattern>
DESCRIPTION
mu extact is the mu sub-command for extracting MIME-parts (e.g., attachments) from mail messages. It works on message files, and does not
require the message to be indexed in the database.
For attachments, the file name used when saving it, is the name of the attachment in the message. If there is no such name, or when saving
non-attachment MIME-parts, a name is derived from the message-id of the message.
If you specify a pattern (a case-insensitive regular expression) as the second argument, all attachments with filenames matching that pat-
tern will be extracted. The regular expressions are Perl-compatible (as per the PCRE-library).
Without any options, mu extract simply outputs the list of leaf MIME-parts in the message. Only 'leaf' MIME-parts (including RFC822 attach-
ments) are considered, multipart/* etc. are ignored.
OPTIONS -a, --save-attachments
save all MIME-parts that look like attachments.
--save-all
save all non-multipart MIME-parts.
--parts=<parts>
only consider the following numbered parts (comma-separated list).The numbers for the parts can be seen from running mu extract
without any options but only the message file.
--target-dir=<dir>
save the parts in the target directory rather than the current working directory.
--overwrite
overwrite existing files with the same name; by default overwriting is not allowed.
--play Try to 'play' (open) the attachment with the default
application for the particular file type. On MacOS, this uses the open program, on other platforms is uses xdg-open. You can choose
a different program by setting the MU_PLAY_PROGRAM environment variable.
EXAMPLES
To display information about all the MIME-parts in a message file:
$ mu extract msgfile
To extract MIME-part 3 and 4 from this message, overwriting existing files with the same name:
$ mu extract --parts=3,4 --overwrite msgfile
To extract all files ending in '.jpg' (case-insensitive):
$ mu extract msgfile '.*.jpg'
To extract an mp3-file, and play it in the the default mp3-playing application.
$ mu extract --play msgfile 'whoopsididitagain.mp3'
