The only way I can think of doing this is to find the name of the .msg
file, then using an editor find the MIME separator strings in this file
and cut out the appropriate parts.

I don't think there is a better way, but it should be possible to
recognise these strings and write a REXX script to do it for you. There
would still be the problem of finding the correct file though, the
index format that PMMail uses is fairly transparent but there would
likely be some manual intervention.
