Since the upgrade to squeeze I'm unable to expand TNEF files (winmail.dat) for examination, all the details are in this bug:
In the second post there is a patch which I have applied, but the problem persists, the bug claims the problem is in the last slash (/) when creating a directory, but you can actually create directories like foo//bar in perl with no problems.
Permissions seem right, perl mkdir function throws this error: "No such file or directory"
The mkdir function tries to create a subdirectory, ie mkdir "foo//bar", but foo doesn't exists, the problem is here, there is something messed up with the directories.
