Extracting attachments from a mailbox with 2 messages

Attached you will find the contents of our editest mailbox with 2 separate
email messages. Both messages have the same attachment. I am trying to
pull out both of the attachments.

The commands I have tried

ripmime -i editest -d /tmp -unique-names -prefix

ripmime -i editest -d /tmp -unique-names -prefix -mailbox

No matter what it only extracts one attachment.

Thanks,

Brian

I think the problem lies with the separation of the mailbox into the separate emails. ripMIME may be being too strict
on its selection of the separation point and subsequently missing it.

This appears to work though
formail -s [ripmime command] < [mailfile]
