[Discuss] mimencode for Fedora

[John Abreau]

If you're looking to burst MIME attachments into files, the perl-MIME-tools
also includes the command mimeexplode.

NAME
    mimeexplode - explode one or more MIME messages

SYNOPSIS
        mimeexplode <mime-msg-file> <mime-msg-file> ...

        someprocess | mimeexplode -

DESCRIPTION
    Takes one or more files from the command line that contain MIME
    messages, and explodes their contents out into subdirectories of the
    current working directory. The subdirectories are just called "msg0",
    "msg1", "msg2", etc. Existing directories are skipped over.
