Parse multi-part emails encoded in base64 utf8 using PHP

I have a multi-part message that I would like to decode (see below).

I'm able to use PHP's base64_decode function to decode normal emails, but it wont work for multi-part emails.

Is anyone aware of how to do this or know of any scripts available?

There is a PHP module called mailparse which can do the heavy lifting for you.

On top of that, check out this wrapper which will make it more easy to access the functions of the library.

We use the php module in our stack at mailparser.io and it works very reliable.

I found this library which does most of what I want (I made a few small customisations).
