I've received several message/partial emails from someone using Outlook as their client. KMail 1.8.2 (Mdv 2006) has not reassembled the split messages into one message - I guess it currently doesn't support this.
Do I have a problem with my KMail setup? i.e. other people can recieve partial messages correctly with KMail
OR
Does anyone receive these messages ok with another client such as Evolution?
OR
Do you manually recombine the messages/attachments with another tool?
Problem fixed.
If you receive split emails from a MS Outlook user then they can be reassembled using nmh (New Message Handler). exmh is a GUI frontend for nmh.
Steps;
1. Install nmh (RPM is available for Mandriva) and exmh.
2. Configure nmh - it uses the config file ~/.mh_profile. exmh will create a default configuration for you.
2. Save the split emais into the inbox directory i.e. normally this is ~/Mail/inbox . Rename the emails numerically, otherwise nmh won't detect them.
3. The mhlist command will list information about the split mails. For example if there are 4 split emails in the inbox, starting with mail number 1.
Code:
mhlist 1-4
4. To reassemble the mails, use the command:
Code:
mhstore 1-4
A new mail is created in the inbox, this is the reassembled mail.
