Please remember WikiFormatting.

I've just committed a number of changes to the mime port. It builds for me on Snow Leopard. Please wait 30 minutes, then "sudo port selfupdate", "sudo port clean mime", and "sudo port install mime" again. If it fails again please attach the new main.log file.

Gave it a whirl. The failure signature looked like:

:info:build /Developer/usr/bin/clang -arch x86_64  -Wall -I. -g    -c header.c -o header.o
:info:build In file included from header.c:34:
:info:build ./util.h:33:7: error: conflicting types for 'memmem'

Ok, looks the same. Try using a different compiler. I have a feeling it's a difference with Lion though, since I tried with MacPorts clang 3 on Snow Leopard and that worked fine too. Note that this is very old software.

P.S: The WikiFormatting page shows you the formatting options that are available here in Trac; I recommend you use the Preview button before submitting so you can see if you got it right.

I'm OK with selecting a different port if you could suggest one. I was trying to find metamail, but that also appears to be long-gone in the s/w community (and there's no port). I've got a bunch of silly .eml files and they have base64 attachments embedded in them, so I wanted to extracted them.

Thanks for the tips on using the posting system.

Replying to clint.olsen@…:

Can't Apple's Mail.app open those kinds of files? Try dragging one on top of the Mail.app icon.

[ClintO (Clint O)]

I was able to use Mail.app. I was worried I would have to setup a bunch of junk to use it, but it will open up individual files. Thanks for the tip. Since I have a workaround, this is a low priority.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Great. If you have a bunch of .eml files you're trying to process identically, you may be able to write an AppleScript script to interact with Mail.app to do that.
