Mime attached doccuments.

The general solution recomeded was the use of an external program to
process the mail and re-invoke (recrusive?) procmail.

However, there is a slight issue with metamail.  In my inital tweeking of
the config.h and Makefiles metamail would not compile with GCC 2.8.1 on
Solrais 2.6+y2k.  I might invest more time in fixing this, or i may just
roll my own perl/python program to fix it though once microsoft gets the
auto forward fixed, i wont have this problem so i may not invest a lot of
time in fixing it (gotta love MicroCruft). 

Though the suggested solution to use formail -ds procmail < inputfile does
work better than my two shell scripts i use to dice and slice the file
through procmail (actually i use "formail +1 -ds procmail <inputfile"). 
However, it still leaves the anoying:

------ =_NextPart_000_01BDC493.2C0E7AE8

at the end of each message.
