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 appropriate format/encoding/whatever. Sometimes, though, some unification
-is desirable. 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.
+ 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
-message, and decodes to stdout or an output file. If the file is not an RFC822
-message it is just copied to the output one-to-one. If the file is a simple
-RFC822 message it is 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 2.4.0 (2014-03-??)
+ mimedecode -t application/pdf -t application/postscript -t text/plain -b text/html -B 'image/*' -i '*/*'
- Change option -d to accept a comma-separated list of headers:
--d h1,h2,h3,...
- Change option -d to decode all headers and accept a list of exceptions:
--d *,-h1,-h2,...
+Version 3.1.0.post7:
- Change option -p to accept lists of headers and parameters:
--p h1,h2,h3,..:p1,p2,p3,..
+ GHActions: Test with Python 3.12.
- Allow * and exceptions for -p in the headers and parameters lists:
--p *,-h1,-h2,-h3:p1,p2,p3
--p h1,h2,h3:*,-p1,-p2,-p3
--p *,-h1,-h2,-h3:*,-p1,-p2,-p3
+Version 3.1.0.post6 (2023-09-17)
- Change option -r to accept a list of headers: -r h1,h2,h3,...
+ GHActions: Ensure ``pip`` only if needed
- Change option -r to remove all headers and accept a list of exceptions:
--r *,-h1,-h2,...
+ This is to work around a problem in conda with Python 3.7 -
+ it brings in wrong version of ``setuptools`` incompatible with Python 3.7.
- Change option -R to accept lists of headers and parameters:
--R h1,h2,h3:p1,p2,p3
--R h1,h2,h3:*,-p1,-p2,-p3
--R *,-h1,-h2,-h3:p1,p2,p3
--R *,-h1,-h2,-h3:*,-p1,-p2,-p3
+Version 3.1.0.post5 (2023-07-07)
- Publish docs in html format.
+ Install all Python and PyPy versions from ``conda-forge``.
- Add ChangeLog.
+Version 3.1.0.post4 (2022-12-15)
-WHAT'S NEW in version 2.3.7 (2014-02-23)
+ Use ``conda`` to install old Python versions.
- Add option -r to remove headers and option -R to remove headers parameters.
+Version 3.1.0.post3 (2022-12-02)
+
+ PyPy3.
+
+Version 3.1.0.post2
+
+ Python 3.11.
+
+Version 3.1.0.post1 (2021-09-24)
+
+ GitHub Actions.
+
+ Stop testing at Travis.
+
+Version 3.1.0 (2021-05-23)
+
+ Convert mimedecode.docbook to reST. Generate html/man/text
+ using Sphinx.
+
+ Replaced outdated and insecure `mktemp` with `NamedTemporaryFile`.
+
+ Python 3.8, 3.9.
