A message is opened for read access in one of the following ways:

 	$ MIME filename.xxx

 	MIME> OPEN filename.xxx

    MIME decodes the attachments (or parts) of the MIME encoded mail
    message when opened, storing them as temporary files in your defined
    MAIL directory.

    If the file is opened with the OPEN command, MIME automatically lists
    the attachments of the MIME encoded mail message. You can also list
    the attachments and their characteristics (content-type/subtype,
    encoding scheme, file name ...) with the following command:

 	MIME> LIST

    Attachments, such as binary .JPG images, documents, spreadsheet
    files, audio, DECsound, and text attachments, can be extracted into
    their native file format using the following MIME command:

 	MIME> EXTRACT /ATTACHMENT=n [filename]

    Where "n" is the attachment number listed with the MIME LIST command.
    In a single part message, no attachment number is displayed. For this
    case specify attachment number one.

    The filename is optional, unless MIME cannot determine the file name
    from the attachment information. In that case, MIME will prompt you
    for a file name. The attachment is stored as a file in the default
    directory.
