   No, it is not so simple. I have to separate the different parts of the 
message and write each of them as a *.MSG file to disk. 

   This requires detection of the first "Content-Type: " header which would 
look like this: 


Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
	boundary="------------1020353129LISA3cd15a69ca5d9"


    memorizing the boundary string in some variable and from then on scan for 
a line which contains nothing but this boundary, then scanning the lines 
following the boundary and interpreting the headers, which do look in my 
example like this: 

Content-Type: message/rfc822
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline

    and when the "Content-Type: message/rfc822" is found, to write the lines 
following the blank line after the header as a file to disk, until the next 
boundary line is found. 

    I have started to write such a REXX-script, but it obviously entails a 
little bit more than a simply copy. Maybe someone else has such a script 
ready? 

    BTW, MUNPACK.EXE did not help, it said it found nothing to unpack in the 
message.
