bump.
Gday.
PLEASE let me know if there is a better place/ mailing list that I
can post my requests for help on retchmail.
I get one or two such emails, nearly every day, and each time attachment
is still eaten.
Here's one from just now: retchmail output:
$ retchmail

Please note the lines:

and:
B <inspector_rikati at ya> see attachment 090825-G54449-00-DRegistr
Now, in mutt, I have the following line:
29 N 090825 Mr Gerrit H. Sc (0.6K) see attachment 090825-G54449-00-DRegistrar Whitaker re-adjournment-etc
In my procmail log I have the following 3 lines:
From justa at ip61.upmart.info Wed Aug 26 08:46:09 2009
Subject: see attachment 090825-G54449-00-DRegistrar Whitaker re-adjournment-et
Folder: /home/justa/Mail/gmail 5287
In my /var/log/mail.info, I have sets of lines like the following:
Aug 26 08:46:28 ip61 postfix/pickup[3550]: 73F7D20919: uid=1000 from=<justa>
Aug 26 08:46:28 ip61 postfix/cleanup[6454]: 73F7D20919: message-id=<09db01ca25a2$0a8b4730$0a00a8c0 at pazu>

Aug 26 08:46:28 ip61 postfix/local[5284]: 73F7D20919: to=<justa at ip61.upmart.info>, orig_to=<justa>, relay=local, delay=4.2, delays=4.1/0/0/0.07, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: procmail -a "$EXTENSION" -o -f -)
Aug 26 08:46:28 ip61 postfix/qmgr[3551]: 73F7D20919: removed
Finally, my /etc/postfix/main.cf contains the following line:
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" -o -f -
TIA
