It seems, from your X-Mailer header, that you're using Gnus.  Doesn't it
do MIME?  Or is it the base64 encoding?

Anyway, to answer your question, metamail(1) is likely what you're
looking for.  Note that the input you supply to this command should have
the headers included, especially the Content-Type header.
