I recently tried to decode a mail generated by splitmail. Neither
apropos nor the two above man pages helped me; by chance I discovered
munpack, which works just fine.
I edited the two man pages. Besides adding/improving the SEE ALSO
section(s) I made a small stylistic correction also.
Things to be considered:
*)Move SEE ALSO in splitmail to the end of the file (this is IMHO
common usage; I first missed it when preparing my patch)
*)The sentence "This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux
distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program=20
does not have a manual page." should be moved into the AUTHOR
section, as it contains meta information about the manual page and
is irrelevant for the interface of the programm.
*)splitmail talks about passing options to sendmail. IMHO this should
be generalized to MTA, e.g. "the verbose flag will be passed to your
MTA, e.g. \fBexim\fR(8) or \fBsendmail\fR(8).

By default it will take the message either from standard input or the name=

mp/split.1" for the first part, and so on. The prefix "/tmp/split." can be=
overridden using the "-p" option. =20

.SH ENVIRONMENT
SPLITSIZE overrides the default chunk size. Setting SPLITSIZE to, say, 40=
00000 will effectively ensure that your messages are unlikely ever to be sp=
lit, but it may cause them to be rejected by some mail transport software.

-If the size of the input is just on the fencepost, and if it is coming fro=
m a file rather than standard input, splitmail will sometimes estimate the =
number of parts wrong and will have to write out an extra part. This is ha=
rmless but annoying. It is especially annoying if the estimate was 2 but t=
