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.
