message.body.decoded email display is a mess

I'm receiving email into my rails app but setting the email body to message.body.decoded displays the email as a mess. An example is below. Is there a better way to display the email body? Or alternatively is there a way to forward the email to another email address without decoding and re-encoding it?

message.body.decoded example:

See the section Reading a Multipart Email in the mail gem docs.

For example, if you want to do something with the HTML part of an email, you would have to find the part with content type 'text/html', and call decode_body on that.

mail = Mail.read('example_multipart_mail.eml')
mail.parts.each do |part|
  next unless part.content_type =~ /^text\/html/
  puts part.decode_body
end
