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. +use appropriate format/encoding/whatever.

For example, one may want to put mail messages into an archive, +make HTML indices, run search indexer, etc. In such situations converting +messages to text in one character set and skipping some binary attachments is +much desirable. 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 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. +file (either on command line or on stdin) which is treated as an RFC822 +message, and decodes to stdout or an output file.
