6 Mail users, especially in non-English countries, often find that mail
7 messages arrived in different formats, with different content types, in
8 different encodings and charsets. Usually this is good because it allows us to
9 use appropriate format/encoding/whatever. Sometimes, though, some unification
10 is desirable. For example, one may want to put mail messages into an archive,
11 make HTML indices, run search indexer, etc. In such situations converting
12 messages to text in one character set and skipping some binary attachments is
15 Here is the solution - mimedecode.py.
17 This is a program to decode MIME messages. The program expects one input
18 file (either on command line or on stdin) which is treated as an RFC822
19 message, and decodes to stdout or an output file. If the file is not an RFC822
20 message it is just copied to the output one-to-one. If the file is a simple
21 RFC822 message it is decoded as one part. If it is a MIME message with multiple
22 parts ("attachments") all parts are decoded. Decoding can be controlled by
