For the moment however this one appears to be covered ok by using uudecode's -o option to force the output file.
Is metamail something OS-specific? Because if not... [Jerome] 19> uudecode -o /tmp/flarp Usage: uudecode [infile] [Jerome] 20> [Daily-Planet] 151> uudecode -o /tmp/flarp uudecode: illegal option -- o usage: uudecode [file ...] [Daily-Planet] 152>
uudecode <$1 -o audio-file
I'd suggest as a somewhat more portable solution, sed -e '1s/.*/begin 644 audio-file/' < $1 | uudecode Perhaps the 644 should be something like `expr 666 - \`umask\``. der Mouse mouse () rodents montreal qc ca 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
