Heya,

how can setup balsa so it can parse incoming emails with attached winmail.dat (TNEF) ?

With parsing I mean in GUI Message Parts display tree.
I do have ytnef installed.

Currently I have to save winmail.dat attachment and run it through ->

Example:
  ytnef -v winmail.dat
     Parse with verbose output, don't save
  ytnef -f . winmail.dat
     Parse and save all attachments to local directory (.)

The f11 ytnef package contains a Perl filter, ytnefprocess.pl, which appears to do what you want (except that it hard-codes an incorrect path to the ytnef executable). Some Debian notes suggested that adding

####################################################################
# TNEF Attachments
:0
* ^X-MS-TNEF-Correlator
{
  :0 fw B
  * winmail.dat
  |/usr/bin/ytnefprocess.pl
}

to your .procmailrc would call it when necessary, but that's pure guesswork on my part--procmail rules are totally inscrutable to me :(

I'm waiting for a TNEF attachment to test it...

Best,

Peter
