[Mailman-Developers] mime decoded mail in the archieves?

[Tomas Fasth]

Hi Peter!
There is a module called 'mimetools' which is part of standard python
distribution. It's capable of parsing multipart messages and decode encoded
headers and text parts. I don't know if it's already in use by Mailman. If
not, it been there for a while waiting to be utilized. ;-)
