Extracting all videos attached to emails from emails?

Extracting all videos attached to emails from emails?

Hi

After my external hdd was stolen (it was in a safe which was stolen...)
I lost my pictures and videos I took.  Luckily, I could get the pictures
back (although in a lower resolution but still fine) but my movies are
gone. 

Over time, I mailed the best ones via gmail to friends and family, so I
have them in my emails. As I have many emails, I am looking for a
scriptable way of extracting all videos which are attached to emails.

Is there a simple way to do it with gnus?

Or do you have ay opther suggestions (I am using notmuch to index all my
mail)?

Thanks,

Rainer

Hi,

Please find attached a script, that does something similar (it extracts
images from emails). Perhaps it can help you...

Thanks peter - that looks like something I can use. 

As I am using a Mac, I am going to use ripmime or munpack instead of
mhstore they are available via homebrew (which I am using).

Thanks a lot - very nice aud useful script!

`X m' will save all MIME parts of the specified type of the
process-marked articles, so that should generally work for this kind of
stuff...
