Here is the solution - mimedecode.py. - This is a program to decode MIME messages. The program expects one input -file (either on command line or on stdin) which is treated as an RFC822 -message, and decodes to stdout or an output file. If the file is not an RFC822 -message it is just copied to the output one-to-one. If the file is a simple -RFC822 message it is decoded as one part. If it is a MIME message with multiple -parts ("attachments") all parts are decoded. Decoding can be controlled by -command-line options. + This is a program to decode MIME messages.

This is how it could be done: -Version 2.6.0 (2014-06-08) + mimedecode.py -t application/pdf -t application/postscript -t text/plain -b text/html -B 'image/*' -i '*/*' - Make options -e/-i to work with multipart subparts. - Add option -I to completely ignore a part - no headers, no body, - no warning. +Version 2.8.0 (2017-11-03) - Open all output files in binary mode. Output os.linesep instead of '\n'. + Python 3. - Test --save-headers|body|message masks one after another to allow - saving a message or a subpart to more than one file. + Stop supporting Python 2.6. -WHAT'S NEW in version 2.5.0 (2014-03-18) + Code cleanup: fixed flake8 errors and warnings. - Add option --set-header=header:value to set header's value (only at the top -level). - - Add option --set-param=header:param=value to set header parameter's value -(only at the top level). The header must exist. - - Add option -B to skip content-transfer-decoding binary attachments. - - Add options --save-headers, --save-body and --save-message to save decoded -headers/bodies/messages to files. - - Add option -O to set the destination directory for output files. - - Fix a minor bug: if a multipart message (or a subpart) lacks any textual -content - avoid putting an excessive newline. + Pushed to GitHub.
