I read my mail through different system so I cannot use NeXTmail, but as
I use elm, I can filter all NeXTmail to another program. But what I want
to know is the format of the NeXTmail. I know it is uuencode with index
containing the text, but I don't know anything about the header.

Could someone help me ?

I get a script Readmail it extract the attachments and read the index.rtf witch is the main file of the mail.

#!/bin/csh
if ( $#argv != 1 ) then 
	echo usage: "readmail filename"
else
	set uudecodename=`awk ' /^begin [0-9]/ { print $3 } ' $1`

	uudecode $1
	chmod 600 $uudecodename
	mv $uudecodename ${uudecodename}.Z
	uncompress ${uudecodename}.Z
	tar xf $uudecodename
	/usr/bin/rtf-ascii index.rtf  | more
