- My favorite yet somewhat dangerous way of unpacking it without removing mail
- headers:
-
- $ SPAWN/NOWAIT/NOTIFY/INPUT=shar_file SET NOON
-
- Gives you lots of error messages while it is processing the mail header
- but as long as the mail header does not have a line starting with
- $DELETE [*...]*.*;* you are kind of safe. Use at your own risk.
