I'm happy to be corrected here, but, I'm fairly certain I have done so in
the past, with no ill effect, and, one can always copy the actual file to
a new file, anyhow.
it was i think uudecode ? first for uuencoded emails, and, munpack for
mime encoded, something like 'munpack email_file':
NAME
munpack - unpack messages in MIME or split-uuencode format
SYNOPSIS
munpack [ -f ] [ -q ] [ -t ] [ -C directory ] [ filename ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The munpack program reads each RFC-822 message filename and writes
all non-text MIME parts or
split-uuencoded files as files. If no filename argument is given,
munpack reads from stan-
dard input.
