Let me explain my larger view.  I know lots of people still want to be
able to use Unix text processing utilities on a MH store.  But I hate
to be the the one who has to explain this ... that hasn't been a realistic
goal since the advent of MIME.  The model that "email is text" just
isn't valid anymore.

But the bulk of the, non-spam, EMail I receive, still has at least one part in
UTF-8 or quotedPrintable. I know that I can use mhfixmsg to apply UNIX text
processing tools to these parts, but I'm not very facile at that. Maybe
Contributions should have a tutorial script or two which illustrate good ways
to do that?
