Re: view multipart in another GUI mailer



although your method works nicely for some emails it doesn't work for
ones generated with nasty MS Word where images' SRC strings are quite
screwed: like 
src="cid:image001.gif@01C4967D.347AADB0"

surely I can adjust your script even more and use sed to correct them a
bit, but... that is quite of handtweeking :-)

I just don't understand why not mozilla neither sylphead modularized out
'view image' module, so  I could just feed whole message body to it to
open... he heh
