I added a -decodetypes switch to mhfixmsg:

    -decodetypes type/[subtype][,...]

    The -decodetypes switch specifies the message parts, by type and
    optionally subtype, to which -decodetext applies.  Its argument is a
    comma-separated list of type/subtype elements.  If an element does not
    contain a subtype, then -decodetext applies to all subtypes of the
    type.  The default is -decodetypes text; it can be overridden, e.g.,
    with -decodetypes text/plain to restrict -decodetext to just text/plain
    parts.
