What is MIMEconvert?

MIMEconvert was written to help me deal with processing web-based form data sent via e-mail.

As you may know, the files get sent with certain special characters hex encoded. As well some MIME encoding takes place frequently meaning that spaces will be represented as a "+" and fields or form elements will be separated with an "&".

It makes using email forms on a web site a bit of a pain in the butt.

For example:

Field=Zac+Belado&Field4=zac@pixelgeek.com&Selection=Isabella%27s+Christmas+Tree&Submit=Submit

would look much nicer as:

Field=Zac Belado
Field4=zac@pixelgeek.com
Selection=Isabella's Christmas Tree
Submit=Submit

or even nicer as a single line of tab delineated text without the final, useless, submit field such as:

Zac Belado    zac@pixelgeek.com    Isabella's Christmas Tree

Which is why I wrote MIMEconvert.

What does it do?

MIMEconvert will:

remove MIME "mail" characters; the "+" and "&" symbols
convert hex encoded characters
save converted text to new files
append converted text to existing files
remove Submit, Reset or any other tag you specify
convert to tab delineated or any other form of single character delineation

What it doesn't do.

MIMEconvert does not convert any other sort of MIME encoded files. It will not convert anything other than text files.
