<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-mimify" title="mimify: Mimification and unmimification of mail messages. (deprecated)"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">mimify</span></tt></a> module defines two functions to convert mail messages to and
from MIME format.  The mail message can be either a simple message or a
so-called multipart message.  Each part is treated separately. Mimifying (a part
of) a message entails encoding the message as quoted-printable if it contains
any characters that cannot be represented using 7-bit ASCII.  Unmimifying (a
part of) a message entails undoing the quoted-printable encoding.  Mimify and
unmimify are especially useful when a message has to be edited before being
sent.  Typical use would be:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>unmimify message
edit message
mimify message
send message</pre>
</div>
<p>The modules defines the following user-callable functions and user-settable
variables:</p>
<dl class="function">

or a <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">write()</span></tt> method (for <em>outfile</em>)) or strings naming the files. If
<em>infile</em> and <em>outfile</em> are both strings, they may have the same value.</p>

strings, they may have the same value. If the <em>decode_base64</em> argument is
provided and tests true, any parts that are coded in the base64 encoding are
decoded as well.</p>

<p>This module can also be used from the command line.  Usage is as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>mimify.py -e [-l length] [infile [outfile]]
mimify.py -d [-b] [infile [outfile]]</pre>
</div>
<p>to encode (mimify) and decode (unmimify) respectively.  <em>infile</em> defaults to
standard input, <em>outfile</em> defaults to standard output. The same file can be
specified for input and output.</p>
<p>If the <strong>-l</strong> option is given when encoding, if there are any lines longer than
the specified <em>length</em>, the containing part will be encoded.</p>
<p>If the <strong>-b</strong> option is given when decoding, any base64 parts will be decoded as
well.</p>
