check_mstnef

Part of protector (http://protector.sourceforge.net)
By Chris Lowth, (protector@lowth.com)

Synopsis

   check_mstnef filename

Description

The check_mstnef program reads the file specified and verifies that it is a properly formatted TNEF file. It also extracts any attachment embedded in the file to the working directory.

The first attachment (if any) in the file is written to the file tnef-att-1, the second is written to tnef-att-2 (etc).

The program writes a single line to stdout that indicates the success or failure of it's actions. The first word of the line gives the protector reason for the problem (or success), as follows..

mstnef_io_error	An error has occurred while reading the file.
mstnef_bad_format	Something wrong with the format of the file has been detected.
N_attachments	Indicates a successful inspection, and indicates the number of attachments contained within the file. These are extracted into the current direction, as described above.
