Nimm metamail. Damit kann man verdammt viel lesen! metamail kann man
(eventuell) aus seinem Elm ausbauen (so unser Admin es hier gemacht),
oder man findet es auf irgendeinem FTP-Server - z.B. auf ftp.funet.fi
in /pub/unix/mail/metamail/-.

Hier noch ein kleiner Auszug aus der manpage:

 METAMAIL(1)                 Bellcore Prototype                  METAMAIL(1)
                                  Release 2

 NAME
      metamail - infrastructure for mailcap-based multimedia mail handling

 SYNOPSIS
      metamail[-b] [-B] [-c contenttype ...] [-d] [-e] [-f from-name]  [-m
      mailer-name] [-p] [-r] [-s subject] [-q] [-x] [-z] [file-name]

 DESCRIPTION
      The metamail program reads a "mailcap" file to determine how to
      display non-text at the local site.  Every mail-reading interface
      needs to call metamail whenever non-text mail is being viewed, unless
      the mail is of a type that is already understood by the mail-reading
      program. Metamail consults the mailcap file(s) to determine what
      program to use to show the message to the user.

      [...]

      Note:  Metamail determines the type of a message using the "Content-
      type" header, as defined in RFC 1049 and RFC XXXX.  However, using the
      -b and -c options, metamail can be made to work with mail that is not
      in Internet format, including X.400 messages.  Note also that metamail
      automatically decodes mail that has been encoded for 7 bit transport
      if the mail includes a Content-Transfer-Encoding header as specified
      by RFC XXXX.

      [...]
