mha-decode is a utility program that is part of the MHonArc software package. mha-decode provides basic \s-1MIME\s0 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 \*(C`-single\*(C' option.

mha-decode takes options available to mhonarc, but only those options affect parsing of mail folders are applicable: \*(C`-conlen\*(C', \*(C`-mhpattern\*(C', \*(C`-msgsep\*(C', \*(C`-noconlen\*(C', \*(C`-outdir\*(C', \*(C`-perlinc\*(C', \*(C`-rcfile\*(C', \*(C`-single\*(C', \*(C`-umask\*(C'.

Also, mha-decode supports the following additional options: Run in message digest mode. When this option is specified, any embedded \*(C`message/rfc822\*(C' and \*(C`message/news\*(C' parts will be saved instead of recursively decoding any parts contained within.

Consult your system administrator for where the documentation has been installed, or see \*(L"\s-1AVAILABILITY\s0\*(R" on where you can access the documentation on the web.
