Piping to 'wc' seems be what nearly what I need.
However, if I display the raw message and do 'wc -c' I get a smaller
value than if I don't display the raw message, move the cursor to the
attachment, display it inline and then do 'wc -c'. In this latter case
I get the real size of the attachment as given if I save it separately.
Is this the expected behaviour?
Cheers,
Loris
