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.
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.
