NAME
mha-decode - Decode MIME messages
SYNOPSIS
mha-decode [options] mailfolder ... mha-decode [options] -single msg.822
DESCRIPTION
mha-decode is a utility program that is part of the MHonArc software package. mha-decode provides basic MIME decoding for mail messages.
If given mail folders as input, all messages within in the mail folders
will be decoded. All message parts are written to files. If a filename is specified for a message part, that filename will be used when
writing the part to a file. If no filename is specified in the message, a unique name will be used based upon the content-type of the
message part.
A single message can be decoded by using the "-single" option.
OPTIONS
mha-decode takes options available to mhonarc, but only those options
affect parsing of mail folders are applicable: "-conlen", "-mhpattern",
"-msgsep", "-noconlen", "-outdir", "-perlinc", "-rcfile", "-single",
"-umask".
Also, mha-decode supports the following additional options:
- "-dcd-digest"
- Run in message digest mode. When this option is specified, any
embedded "message/rfc822" and "message/news" parts will be saved
instead of recursively decoding any parts contained within.
