- Dunno about ADman, but the decoding process is trivial with AmigaElm.
-
- Simply "T"ag the parts and "|" pipe them through munpack. You can do
- several multipart files at once, and tagging order doesn't matter.
- Munpack decodes UUencoded and MIME (base64) encoded mail. Munpack works
- better with netsupport.library, but it isn't mandatory. Set your stack
- to around 30K to keep the GURU at bay.
-
- The command to enter into the pipe requestor is "munpack %S", or you
- can edit your elmrc (PipeDefault munpack %S) to make this automatic.
- Use %S, not %s.

- Available from an Aminet mirror near you:

- mpack_1_4.lha comm/misc 43K Encoding & decoding in MIME format
