mime decoding

[ldwhitley at charter.net]

While on Christmas vacation I decided to play around with nntp.  I've had
good success with nntplib and am able to fetch messages from the server
without a problem.  If the message contains a uuencoded file I can use the
python uu.decode() function to decode and store it to disk quickly and
simply.  However, I've spent most of the afternoon looking at mimetools,
rf822, quopri, and mimify and still don't have a good idea of how to proceed
for mime messages.   Any suggestions would be welcome (please include a
short example, if possible).
