Hey DM,ããI received an email today with multiple parts:ãã$ grep Next msg_5939.txtã boundary="----=_NextPart_000_008C_01D998A5.F0960690"ã ------=_NextPart_000_008C_01D998A5.F0960690ã boundary="----=_NextPart_001_008D_01D998A5.F0960690"ã ------=_NextPart_001_008D_01D998A5.F0960690ã ------=_NextPart_001_008D_01D998A5.F0960690ã ------=_NextPart_001_008D_01D998A5.F0960690--ã ------=_NextPart_000_008C_01D998A5.F0960690ã ------=_NextPart_000_008C_01D998A5.F0960690--ããbut Email -> Read was only showing me the first "001_008D" part of the message.

I wasnt aware that there were other parts unless I downloaded theã > message, ie List -> Select Message -> Download.ããTypically there's only one plain-text part (useful for reading in a terminal) per message. But if you want to see all parts, enabling Raw I/O mode (Ctrl-Z) will do that.ãã > Even smbutil -rxxx didnt show the full message.ãã'-rxxx' doesn't ring a bell. "smbutil r[xxx] -r" (where [xxx] is the message number) would display the raw (non MIME-decoded message body).ãã > Should it have shown or otherwise enabled me to download the other parts?ããI suppose it (msglist.js?) could display an indicator that there are non-visible parts. Some parts (e.g. html, inline images) just aren't very useful to be shown to a terminal user.ãã > This makes email via the BBS unreliable if attachments or other parts of theã > message are not accessible.ã >ã > In case you need it:ã > _NextPart_000_008C_01D998A5.F0960690 - Content-Type: multipart/alternativeã > _NextPart_001_008D_01D998A5.F0960690 - Content-Type: text/plain;ã > _NextPart_001_008D_01D998A5.F0960690 - Content-Type: text/htmlã > _NextPart_000_008C_01D998A5.F0960690 - Content-Type: text/plainããI would expect only the first text/plain part to be pulled from the message body by default.ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããSynchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #67:ãSBBS = Synchronet Bulletin Board SystemãNorco, CA WX: 64.6øF, 65.0% humidity, 0 mph NE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
