ripmime messes up if multiple From: headers
by mfoley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FBGG)
I've having a bit of a problem with ripmime. If I have a message like:
Code:<other headers>

Regards, Personripmime will break this message up into two textfiles: textfile0 and textfile1, which the bit from the original message on down being put into a separate file. The whole message is in one of the texfiles, but it's not consistenly textfile0. Sometime yes, sometime it goes to textfile1.
The only way I can get this into one file is to replace all the 2nd header info with e.g. "On Thu, 05 Oct 2023 21:07:52 jblow@maydom.com wrote:".
I'm running ripmime version 1.4.0.9 (Nov 7, 2008). I've examined and tried several of the command switches to no avail. The ripmime developer's site, https://pldaniels.com/ripmime/ has links for bug reporting and a forum, but those don't work.
Does anyone have an idea for a fix for this? Is there an alternative to ripmime (which otherwise works great!) In searching I've come across metamail, but not sure about that one. I haven't tried it yet.
