Re: KMail under BlackBox
Hey,
This is a problem. I would file a bug report if it hasn't already been filed.
As a work around (faster then killing bb and starting kde), use
mpack/munpack. Just save the email in a temp directory, then in an xterm,
'munpack filename'.. Tada, there is your attachment(s) cleanly seperated from
the email. Save the whole message, not the attachment.

~ pts/4> apt-cache search mpack
mpack - Tools for encoding/decoding MIME messages.
