The subdirectories are just called <CODE>msg0</CODE>, <CODE>msg1</CODE>, <CODE>msg2</CODE>, etc. Existing directories are skipped over. <P>The message information is output to the stdout, like this: <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE> Message: msg3 (inputfile1.msg) Part: msg3/filename-1.dat (text/plain) Part: msg3/filename-2.dat (text/plain) Message: msg5 (input-file2.msg) Part: msg5/dir.gif (image/gif) Part: msg5/face.jpg (image/jpeg) Message: msg6 (infile3) Part: msg6/filename-1.dat (text/plain) </PRE></FONT> <P>This was written as an example of the MIME:: modules in the MIME-parser package I wrote. It may prove useful as a quick-and-dirty way of splitting a MIME message if you need to decode something, and you don't have a MIME mail reader on hand. <P><HR> <A NAME="COMMAND_LINE_OPTIONS"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> COMMAND LINE OPTIONS</H2></A> <P>None yet. <P><HR> <A NAME="AUTHOR"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> AUTHOR</H2></A> <P>Eryq <CODE>eryq@zeegee.com</CODE>, in a big hurry... <P><HR> <ADDRESS><FONT SIZE=-1> Generated Wed Jan 17 01:58:54 2001 by cvu_pod2html </FONT></ADDRESS> </FONT></BODY> </HTML>
