My code was meant to show you the general process of MIME decoding (and mostly concept). It was not quite good for production use. Parsing a real-world email message is likely slightly more complex due to existence of variations.
To be frank, if you can get hold of PHP 5, as indicated in the inline comment, the simplest approach would be to use the iconv_mime_decode() function which is a one-stop shop of what you want. There was a (intentional) flaw in my posted code because it didn't handle the case where the encoding is quoted-printable, that is also supported by MIME. For simplicity, I only posted the part which decodes Base64, because that was used in your sample posted.
If you get hold of the concepts needed, you may then check other languages or tools to see if they may better suit your environment compared with PHP. As PHP install is typically pretty big, it may not be necessarily suitable in all deployment environments (say on very limited storage space).

platform::shell
platform::shell(n) Tcl Bundled Packages platform::shell(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?
platform::shell::generic shell
platform::shell::identify shell
platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.
This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.
While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell
this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.
For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed
packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.
COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell
This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::generic shell
This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::platform shell
This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture
platform::shell 1.1.4 platform::shell(n)
