- What's the problem? There's any number of shell/perl scripts or C programs
- that will take a number of mails, strip all the garbage, and
- uudecode/uncompress/untar them. I've been using a perl script myself for a
- long time. Easy enough.

- Piecing the system together is much less hassle than actually *using* the
- language and system :-) You'll have to find those 13 megs somewhere whether
- you like it or not.
