The program may produce incorrect MIME message. The purpose of the program
-is to decode whatever it is possible to decode, not to produce absolutely
-correct MIME output. The incorrect parts are obvious - decoded Subject headers
-and filenames. Other than that output is correct MIME message. The program does
-not try to guess whether the headers are correct. For example, if a message
-header states that charset is iso8859-5, but the body is actually in utf-8
-the program will recode the message with the wrong charset.
