TOC

[TOP]DecMime Syntax

DecMime is a utility for decoding Mime attachments. It will output the binary files to the directory specified using the /out: switch. The Text.txt file created will be the message from the multi-part message. Please Note, at this time, DecMime can only decode binary attachments, ascii attachments are not supported.

Retrieve Syntax (Decode while retrieving):

decmime* get /svr:[ s ] /port:[ p ] /id:[ i ] /pass:[ pw ] /msg:[ n ] /DEL:[ d ] ] /OUT:[dir]

i: username
pw: password
n: message #
d: 0 = keep (keep message on server), 1 = delete (remove message from server)
dir: folder to store decoded messages in.

Decode Syntax :

decmime* decode /src:[s]

s: MESSAGE.# file. the decoded entity is saved under ../mail/[uid]/MESSAGE.#.attach/

NOTE: decmime only works with Emia4Win, and not any older versions if Emia.

[TOP]DecMime for VBScript/VBA/ASP Overview

  

DecMime supports VBScript/VBA/ASP, by deploying a component DLL that takes care of the processes.
Download EmiaVBS_A.dll here.It requires that you have the Microsoft .NET Framework Redistributable installed. *EmiaVBS_A.dll is not standalone. It requires Emia4Win (emia.exe) and DecMime (decmime.exe)
Once installed, you must register the component by typing at the console "regasm EmiaVBS_A.dll /tlb /codebase"
Please Note: In order to use EmiaVBS_A with ASP on IIS, you must set "Application Protection" to "Low" and "Execute Permissions" to "Scripts only" or "Scripts and Executables" under the "Home Directory" Tab in website properties.
*NOTE: EmiaVBS_A.dll is only to be used with Emia4Win and/or DecMime. If you plan to use Emia4Win with/or DecMsgX, you must use EmiaVBS_B.
