I needed a utility for base64-decoding text parts of MIME messages. All the tools I tried would (i) fail to crlf->lf convert the text part (as is needed) or (ii) have an interface which was just too inconvenient. Or both. I'm afraid I have not supplied a manpage, help message, etc. This program is useful with formail to work around a bug in git-am, where if it gets a base64-encoded patch it fails because the base64 correctly contains cr-lf line endings. Ian.
Hello, Thanks! I need at least a Signed-off-by per CONTRIBUTING.rst. Could you write a manpage, please? Otherwise, I think discoverability is just a bit too low to be worth distributing in the archive. Easiest thing would be if you'd commit your manpage and this script to mailscripts.git and send a patch generated with git-format-patch(1). You don't need to plumb it into the building/packaging machinery.
