Hi! |

Some of the tooling in here is common in procmail recipes. While i'm not |
| 12 |
sad to see metamail go, I suspect there might be some surprising |
| 13 |
usecases that need fixing. |

metamail used to be very common with procmail recipes. |

Two binaries stand out, and if there's anybody who runs into this |
| 18 |
removal being a problem, these are probably cases that could use fixes. |

This recipe had a bonus that it made the mail on disk possibly to |
| 23 |
trivially grep, whereas if it was still base64, it wouldn't have |
| 24 |
matched. Probably possible to replace with a simple script. |

Good way to send data/files from the commandline while controlling the |
| 28 |
MIME structure. This was sometimes used to encapsulate an entire |
| 29 |
incoming mail in procmail and resend it. Harder to replace. |
