Bug#497527: mpack: munpack still fails on multipart MIME messages

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: mpack
Version: 1.6-8
Followup-For: Bug #497527
Control: severity 497527 important

This is still a problem with 1.6-8. Why else would you want to use
munpack unless you were dealing with multipart messages? If i had to
guess, i'd guess that most messages traversing the 'net today are
multipart messages. I'm increasing the severity of this ticket, since
half the package doesn't seem to work for the standard use case.
