<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><strong>mha-decode</strong> is a utility program that is part of the <strong>MHonArc</strong>
software package. <strong>mha-decode</strong> provides basic MIME decoding for
mail messages.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>A single message can be decoded by using the <code>-single</code> option.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1>
<p><strong>mha-decode</strong> takes options available to <strong>mhonarc</strong>, but only those
options affect parsing of mail folders are applicable:
<code>-conlen</code>,
<code>-mhpattern</code>,
<code>-msgsep</code>,
<code>-noconlen</code>,
<code>-outdir</code>,
<code>-perlinc</code>,
<code>-rcfile</code>,
<code>-single</code>,
<code>-umask</code>.</p>
<p>Also, <strong>mha-decode</strong> supports the following additional options:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="item__2ddcd_2ddigest"><code>-dcd-digest</code></a></strong>
<dd>
<p>Run in message digest mode. When this option is specified, any
embedded <code>message/rfc822</code> and <code>message/news</code> parts will be saved
instead of recursively decoding any parts contained within.</p>
</dd>
