#### Batch MIME attachment unpacker for EML, mbox and Maildir email archives

Batch Email Attachment Extractor is a desktop MIME multipart attachment cataloger,
deduplicator, and batch unpacker for standalone .eml messages, Unix .mbox archives,
and Maildir directories on Linux.
A lightweight Linux alternative to desktop email attachment unpacker utilities such as
AttachView, it parses RFC 5322 messages locally, decodes internationalized filenames
and encoded MIME payloads, and writes clean files directly to disk.

Key Features:

* Multi-Format Email Unpacking: Reads standalone .eml files, multi-message .mbox
  archives, and Maildir folders (cur/new), decoding RFC 2047 and RFC 2231 filenames
  alongside Base64 and Quoted-Printable MIME parts.
* Detailed Attachment Catalog: Lists every attachment with decoded filename, extension,
  MIME content type, transfer encoding, byte size, SHA-256 digest, sender, subject,
  and UTC message timestamp.
* Flexible Filtering & SHA-256 Deduplication: Filter attachments by filename, sender,
  file extension, minimum/maximum byte size, or duplicate status, and batch-extract
  with optional SHA-256 deduplication and sender/date/extension subfolder grouping.
* Live Payload Preview & Manifest Export: Preview raster images, UTF-8 text attachments,
  or binary hex headers before extraction, and export full CSV or JSON manifests.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Batch Email Attachment Extractor

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
