+   Make options -e/-i to work with multipart subparts.

 
 

-WHAT'S NEW in version 2.0.0
-   Major rewrite to use python email package. Old version is still inluded in
-the archive; the latest bug-fix version is 1.1.7.
+   Add option -I to completely ignore a part - no headers, no body,
+   no warning.

 
 

+   Open all output files in binary mode. Output os.linesep instead of '\n'.

 
 

-WHERE TO GET
-   Master site:    http://phd.pp.ru/Software/Python/#mimedecode
+   Test --save-headers|body|message masks one after another to allow
+   saving a message or a subpart to more than one file.

+WHAT'S NEW in version 2.5.0 (2014-03-18)

 
 

-   Requires: Python 2.2.2+
+   Add option --set-header=header:value to set header's value (only at the top
+level).

 
 

-   Recommends: configured mailcap database.
+   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.
