$decode(%var | &binvar[, mubt][, N])
- The first parameter is the variable, raw text or binary variable containing the encoded text
- The second parameter is a list of options pertaining to the type of encoding, and the type of variable given. Defaults are ut.
- m means that the text is encoded using Mime. Do not use with u.
