    Yes:

| decode-copy   ESC C   decode a message and copy it to a file/mailbox
| decode-save   ESC s   decode a message and save it to a file/mailbox

    Both functions give you a text file with QP decoded, charset
transcoded to current locale, HTML rendered, binary attachments deleted,
PGP decrypted, headers weeded, etc... They transmutt mail into text.

    Beware: The <decode-save> variant *deletes* the original mail. Don't
self-foot-shoot you. ;-)


Bye!    Alain.
