Yes. mhparse works quite nicely for this. Note that mhfixmsg's purpose is to "rewrite nmh MIME messages". It handles some bad formatting, but I don't think we should be too aggressive with that. Wait, that used to say "rewrite MIME messages". Larry's rework of the man pages inserted "nmh" before "messages" in a bunch of places, see below. The man pages sometimes refer to messages, as defined by the RFCs, not nmh. Any objection to removing "nmh" from before "messages" from at least some of these? I'll do it for mhical right now, that's definitely not intended. Does anyone have time to go through the others?
