Hi all,

while most variants of mailx seem to have an -a or -A flag for attaching
files, what's the proper way to detach attached files received?

NetBSD's mailx has a detach command which predicatbly does just
that. However s-nail or GNU mail seem to lack this functionality.

Pipe to metamail maybe? Other options?

Cheers,

lkh

Don't plan any hasty moves. You'll be evicted soon anyway.
