=head1 NAME
mimedecode - extract MIME attachments in uudecode-like manner
=head1 SYNOPSIS
  mimedecode [-d directory] < file
  mimedecode [-d directory] file...
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<mimedecode> processes mail files using B<MIME::Parser> module.
It handles "multipart" messages and saves "attached" files
(i.e. parts with suggested file names) to their suggested names
in the directory specified after C<-d>, or the current directory if
C<-d> is not given.
=head1 BUGS
It needs the module installed.
Should probably consider more of headers in deciding if it really
is a useful attachment.
