 WHAT IS IT
 
    Mail users, especially in non-English countries, often find that mail
 messages arrived in different formats, with different content types, in
-different encodings and charsets. Usually this is good because it allows us to
-use apropriate format/encoding/whatever. Sometimes, though, some unification is
-desireable. For example, one may want to put mail messages into an archive,
-make HTML indicies, run search indexer, etc. In such situations converting
-messages to text in one character set and skipping some binary atachmetnts is
-much desireable.

-   Here is the solution - mimedecode.py.
+   Here is the solution - mimedecode.
 
-   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 mesage,
-and decoded to stdout. If the file is not an RFC822 message it is just piped to
-stdout one-to-one. If the file is a simple RFC822 message it is just 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.

+   Think about said mail archive; for example, its maintainer wants to
+put there only texts, convert PDF/Postscript to text, pass HTML and
+images decoding base64 to html but leaving images encoded, and ignore
+everything else. This is how it could be done:
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 2.1.1 (2012-04-15)
-   Removed svn:keywords.
+   mimedecode -t application/pdf -t application/postscript -t text/plain -b text/html -B 'image/*' -i '*/*'
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 2.1.0 (2006-04-27)
-   A patch by Bogdan Maryniuk <bogdan.maryniuk@gmail.com>:
-portable way to get the default charset.
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 2.0.0
-   Major rewrite to use python email package.
+Version 2.9.0 (2017-12-12)
+
+   Split mimedecode.py into mimedecode library and a small script.
+
+   Made the library executable via ``python -m mimedecode``.
+
+Version 2.8.0 (2017-11-03)
+
+   Python 3.
+
+   Stop supporting Python 2.6.
