The rpm command didn't do what I hoped it would (it bails out as soon as it
finds an error, even when you have asked it to install multiple packages.

Yet another virtual Linux machine later (running RedHat 7.1 this time for a
change), and I have written a tiny little install script that installs the
RPMs in an order that meets all the dependencies.

I have put the latest build version on the website, which includes the
script. If you just want to run it, then here it is:

rpm -Uvh tnef*rpm
rpm -Uvh perl-IO-stringy*rpm
rpm -Uvh perl-MIME-Base64*rpm
rpm -Uvh perl-File-Spec*rpm
rpm -Uvh perl-File-Temp*rpm
rpm -Uvh perl-HTML-Tagset*rpm
rpm -Uvh perl-HTML-Parser*rpm
rpm -Uvh perl-MailTools*rpm
rpm -Uvh perl-MIME-tools*rpm
rpm -Uvh perl-Convert-TNEF*rpm
rpm -Uvh mailscanner*rpm

I think RedHat are going to send me to an early grave...
