- Version: 1.0
- Type: util/cli
-
- A simple maildecoder utility that will decode any file that has been recieved as
- a mail attachment or taken from usenet. It is a single cli program that will
- decode any Base64 or UUencoded file, it automatically detects the type and will
- decode it correctly without any input from the user.
-
- Why use this program ?
-
- * It is the only integrated utility that will decode both common used formats.
-
- * It is small, fast and stable and I have yet to find a file that it won't
- decode.
