I notice there have been some messages lately on what is out there available
in mime decoders.

I've taken the trouble to extract the MIME routines from the SMTP-X gateway
as a standalone MPE program and put the results out on my web site at
www.emailinc.com as an MPE program called MIMEX.

This is a free contribution, by the way, although you do have to fill out
the simplest of information forms to get it.  I've tested the program and it
works, although I don't know the extent yet to its usefulness, there seems
to be a need for a simple MPE program that will take any file and convert it
to the appropriate ASCII MIME.  This converter takes an MPE program (ASCII
or binary) with record lengths up to 1024 and automatically does the
appropriate conversion for you.  The result is an ASCII content file that
you use with your own MIME header for SMTP transport.  I had envisioned
another release that also makes the optional creation of simple MIME header
as well (or a version that takes a MIME template file created ahead of time
and merges it with the MIME content file), but we'll see how it goes.

I hope this is of some help and use.
