According to the docs pipe_decode is unset by default.  Whenever
anyone has set pipe_decode that I have see it breaks spam handling.
So probably no one should need to worry about pipe_decode.  Hopefully.

My favorite way of doing looking at the raw message source is to pipe
it to less.

  | less

But if I just want to look at the headers then I usually juse use 'h'.

  |     pipe-message           pipe message/attachment to a shell command

  h     display-toggle-weed    display message and toggle header weeding
