from Mime to text and bcak to MIME 1

[BIS]

Hallo People,

Need some pointers here. I need to convert an incoming email. The headers are fine, but the body is in base64 MIME. I need to decode the body from MIME to plain text (I can do that with reformime), modify it with some scripting, then re-encode the body back to MIME, and re-assemble the email.

Has anybody done something similar? How do you re-encode to MIME?

Any pointers much appreciated.

feherke,
Excellent solution.
I didn't even know that "recode" existed.
Shame on me!

A star for you for enlightening me.

Many thanks for that. Suppose the incoming email has now been split into two files.

Header (plain text)
Body (plain text) - converted from MIME

How would I reassemble the entire email, including the headers? So that the end result is

Header (plain text)
Body (MIME)

Maybe I am just not seeing the obvious.
