First, let me say that FUDforum is incredible. I've just spent 2 days trying out a number of email-aware forum systems and FUDforum is by far the best.
I'm still learning how to use it, so the following is probably a problem due to my ignorance. I'm trying to populate a forum using a saved mbox of messages to a mailing list. As far as I understand it, I should be able to pipe an individual email message to the maillist.php script, as follows:
cat msg | /var/www/html/sbml/FUDforums/scripts/maillist.php 1
(Here 'msg' is a saved message in standard unix mailbox format.) Everything *almost* works, except for one thing: attachments in the messages don't show up at all on the web page. You can see an example here:
http://www.sbml.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=7&start=0&rid=2
You can find the original message text file here:
ftp://ftp.cds.caltech.edu/pub/mhucka/msg
I've tested posting and attaching messages via the web interface, and sure enough, attachments *do* show up fine, as you can see from the following example:
http://www.sbml.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=6&start=0&rid=2
So it appears the forum configuration is good, and attachments are working -- just not when I use maillist.php. Yet looking in the code in maillist.php and the scripts it invokes, it does look like there's code to parse attachments in there. So after several hours of configuring, reconfiguring, testing and thinking, I have to give up and call on a higher authority  .
Please let me know your suggestions about what might be going wrong, and sorry to waste your time if I'm just doing something really stupid. You can tell me to RTFM, but please tell me which M to R, and where in it I should look.
In case it's useful, here are some stats on the installation:
