[LUG] Topics arising from Torbay meeting

 

1/ Many thanks to Gordon (and Neil) for explanations on Asterisk and VoIP

2/ The script I found to convert Windows email to text is at http://raf.org/textmail/

Quote

- Translation to plain text. The following documents are translated into plain text: 
MS Word, MS Excel, RTF, HTML and PDF.

- Deletion of large attachments. Image, audio and video attachments are deleted by 
default.

- MS Windows executable attachments are deleted by default.

- Translation of winmail.dat attachments. MS TNEF (i.e. winmail.dat) attachments are 
unpacked by default and replaced by any attachments contained therein which are then 
replaced by text or deleted as required.

- Deletion of binary attachments. Additionally, all application/octet-stream or all 
application/* attachments can be deleted.

- Deletion of unwanted mail headers. Headers can be deleted selectively by providing 
prefixes (e.g. X-). 

- Robust. If it is impossible to translate an attachment, you have the choice of 
leaving the original attachment intact, or of discarding it in favour of the empty 
text translation.

The script is a perl script and seems to be working fine
