Bonjour,

I'm a bit late to join the discussion: my timezone is 7 hours ahead of
yours... And by the way it is raining here too :^)

For programs like `msgproperties', which are supposed to be
used in shell scripts, it would be very useful to implement a switch
--print-attachment-numbers, which would output all numbers of the
attachments, instead of their count. It would simplify the loops
considerably. For instance, the above example would read:

  ...      
  for d in `msgproperties --print-attachment-numbers $i`
  do
    readmsg $i > $datehdr
  done
  ...

Une bonne idee. Do you plan to integrate it in mailutils? 

Cheers,
