Problem winmail.dat and TNEF

[Jeff Mills]

I have tried the patch, but it still doesn't work for me, so I have switched back to internal tnef.

Feb 23 09:39:32 S1 MailScanner[29355]: Expanding TNEF archive at /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/29355/24911D3E13B.A7DDB/winmail.dat
Feb 23 09:39:32 S1 MailScanner[29355]: Trying to unpack nwinmail.dat in message 24911D3E13B.A7DDB, could not create subdirectory 24911D3E13B.A7DDB//tnef244e4i, failed to unpack TNEF message
Feb 23 09:39:32 S1 MailScanner[29355]: Corrupt TNEF winmail.dat that cannot be analysed in message 24911D3E13B.A7DDB

My code looks like this now:
# Create the subdir to unpack it into
  #my $unpackdir = "tnef.$$";
  my ($tmpfh, $unpackdir) = tempfile("tnefXXXXXX", TMPDIR => $dir, UNLINK => 0);
  $dir =~ s,^.*/,,;
  $unpackdir = $message->MakeNameSafe($unpackdir, $dir);
  unless (mkdir "$dir/$unpackdir", 0777) {
    MailScanner::Log::WarnLog("Trying to unpack %s in message %s, could not create subdirectory %s, failed to unpack TNEF message", $tnefname, $message->{id},
                              "$dir/$unpackdir");
    return 0;
