I asked this question quite a while ago. It seems the answer is that you have to parse the AppleDouble files yourself, following the directions in the PDF file that describes the format.

One thing that someone directed me to when I asked this question was mpack, an open-source utility that does this for you. You could probably find the source to mpack via a Google search, but be forewarned that it contains bugs that you will have to read the pdf file on the format to fix. So whichever route you take, read that pdf file! It can be found via a Google search as well.

I am writing an email client, and wish to handle Apple-Double enclosures. Can someone direct me to a source of information on the use and saving of such types in OSX? It's easy enough to isolate and save the data fork, but I would like the ability to al
so save the default application, and other resource fork niceties.

Any ideas?
