"""Mimification and unmimification of mail messages.
Decode quoted-printable parts of a mail message or encode using
unmimify(input, output, decode_base64 = 0)
to encode and decode respectively. Input and output may be the name
of a file or an open file object. Only a readline() method is used
on the input file, only a write() method is used on the output file.
When using file names, the input and output file names may be the
mimify.py -e [infile [outfile]]
mimify.py -d [infile [outfile]]
to encode and decode respectively. Infile defaults to standard
input and outfile to standard output.
