If I understand things correctly, a winmail.dat file is just an archive? The one here just contained a single file -- a .pdf file. So it seems like a possible way to approach this would be to create a general "parse archives as MIME parts" functionality to Gnus. That is, when given a tar file, or a winmail.dat file, then create a separate MIME part for each file in the archive. Gnus would have to guess at the Content-Type of each file, but that should be no biggie... Does this seem reasonable? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no * Sent from my Rome
