.TH MIMEDECODE 1
.SH NAME
.B mimedecode
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mimedecode
.RB [ \-h | \-d\ \fI<debug\ level>\fP ]\ <\ \fIencoded_msg\fP\ >\ \fIdecoded_msg\fP
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents briefly the
.B mimedecode
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
.PP
.B mimedecode
performs the decoding of transfer encoded text type mime messages.
The message in its entirety is read from stdin.
The decoded message is written to stdout; hence, this program
behaves as a filter which may be placed wherever convenient.
It is assumed that the message has reached its point of final
delivery and at that point 8-bit text types can be handled
natively. Hence, the need for transfer-encodings is not present
any more.
Only some cases are handled:
.TP
Encoded header fields are decoded from QP or B encoding.
.TP
The charset is assumed to be iso-8859-1
.TP
Part or subparts of content-type text only are decoded
.TP
All other content-types are passed transparently
.SH OPTIONS
This program accepts the follwing options:
.TP
.B \-h
Switch on header logging
.TP
.B \-d \fI<debug level>\fP
Enable debugging output at level: \fI<debug level>\fP.
