Very interesting. I run the latest stable version.

[root@mailgw new]# ripmime -V
v1.3.1.2 - 13-May-2004 (C) PLDaniels http://www.pldaniels.com/ripmime

54 is where it finally works. I get textfile0 - textfile53.

[root@mailgw new]# ripmime --recursion-max 53 -i msg.txt
mime.c:2666:MIME_unpack_stage2:WARNING: Current recursion level of 54 is
greater than permitted 53

[root@mailgw new]# ripmime --recursion-max 54 -i msg.txt -v | wc -l
54

I even tried the latest dev release and get the same results. There
isnt much activity on the ripmime list is there :)

Hey all,

Sorry about the lack of activity, I guess it tends to come and go in spurts.

Have you tried turning using --disable-qmail-bounce ?

Alas, I wish I didn't have to use qmail-bounce disable options but until email programs stop trying to decode emails
which are not formatted in a way to be decoded (I'm pointing fingers at Outlook here), I unfortunately have to make
ripMIME try to decode the qmail bounces.

That did it..

[root@mailgw new]# ripmime -i msg.txt -v --disable-qmail-bounce
Decoding filename=textfile0
Decoding filename=textfile1
Decoding filename=textfile2

But this email wasn't a qmail-bounce... Is it looking at the =20's?

Seeing that I'm running qmail, I really don't want to
--disable-qmail-bounce do I?

Thx
