The first idea that comes to mind is the ability to store message
parts in files, like this:

      decode MSG-NO PART [OUT-FILE]

Afterwards one would be able to view the part with an appropriate
program..

Maybe we can also keep some kind of association table, for example:

      Content-Type          Program
      ------------------    -------
      application/x-gzip    gzip -d
      text/html             lynx
      text/plain            <internal>
      etc...

then, when one issues a  command like `decode 1 2' and there is an
entry corresponding to the content-type of part 2, then the part 2
is stored in a temporary file and the program listed in the entry is
started with the filename as its argument.
