  14. [mh-users: this is a slightly improved version of the script I
  15.  posted earlier today.]
  16.  
  17. A perl script that converts OpenWindows mail to MIME is available for
  18. anonymous FTP from cs.utk.edu (128.169.201.1), directory pub/MIME,
  19. files sun-to-mime.*.
  20.  
  21. I have successfully used this script with both mh 6.8 and metamail
  22. to display messages sent from OpenWin3 mailtool (without manual
  23. intervention).
  24.  
  25. Body parts currently supported are: text, gif, Sun rasterfile
  26. (converted to image/gif), postscript, and audio.  Other types default
  27. to application/octet-stream.  It's easy to extend the set of
  28. types supported and to add conversions, if necessary.
  29.  
  30. The script requires uuencode, uudecode, zcat (aka uncompress),
  31. and the "convert" program from ImageMagick.  If you don't have
  32. ImageMagick you can probably substitute the pbm stuff with little
  33. fuss.
