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.
