Are there any ways to save the decoded message rather than the encoded one?
To make it more general, is it possible to save the content generated by some
auto_view commands, without having to split the email and type those commands
separately in command line?
Well, you can set pipe_decode=yes and then pipe to a save command:
| cat >saved_message.txt
Pipe_decode is normally "no", so that piping a message goes in the raw form to
whatever command is receiving it. But setting it to "yes" gets you what would
show in the pager. I think. Need to experiment.
Personally I'm surprised that the Content-Transfer-Encoding isn't decoded for
saving things; it is there purely to get the original content through the mail
system and should be decoded. I need to do some testing.
Yubin, your sample messages seem to be from linkedin.com; is that the case? If
so, I've any number of them in my own inbox I can try.
