metamail - save the attachment to a file

[pho01]

Anybody using metamail program out there?

I use metamail to decode a MIME Base64 encoded message.
Using -w option, it asks for a filename to save, how do i turn this off and have it save the file without human interaction?

Thanks!

You may try something like this:
echo "/path/to/decodedfile" | metamail -w "/path/to/encodedfile"

Hope This Helps, PH.
