greetings,

now that fedora project has started sending emails as;

is there a way to convert emails back to text so that local searching of
emails can be done?

searching on "Subject:" seldom provides a means to find what a post is
actually about.
You may have to do some splitting of the message to separate the encoded
parts...  But the encoded parts can always be un-encoded using something
like the perl MIME::Base64 module.  That module is not part of the
distro, but could be gotten from CPAN.

I've not looked at what they do since I've not had a need, but you can
also investigate these that do come with as part of the distro.

perl-Email-MIME
perl-Email-MIME-Attachment-Stripper
perl-Email-MIME-ContentType
perl-Email-MIME-Encodings



"man base64" should get you going. It's a little easier than the perl stuff.
