✨ NAME ✨

ytnefprocess — bestie, it processes TNEF MIME parts straight from standard input 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ytnefprocess < mailfile

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this manual page is gonna give you the lowdown on ytnefprocess, like briefly. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

real talk: this manpage was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. so we made one. you're welcome. 💁‍♀️

ytnefprocess is a command line utility that lets you process TNEF attachments — you know, the ones also known as winmail.dat attachments — that are hanging out inside MIME parts it reads from standard input. no cap. 👑

and like, when is that useful? when you're dealing with messages from a mail reader that has no native TNEF support but is able to pipe messages to other tools. that's the moment. that's the main character moment. ✨

the TNEF attachments it finds get replaced by the attached files that exist inside the winmail.dat container. periodt. 💅

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • ~/.ytnef/pid — temporary directory for processing MIME parts of stdin 🌈
