Listmates, I have had a number of occasions where colleagues have bungled attachments to e-mail where I receive the message body and attachment all run-together in the body of the message. Often times I need to be able to un-encode and save the encoded spreadsheet, word processing document or photo back to its .doc, .xls or .jpg native file format. The encodings appear similar to: ------=_NextPart_000_0036_01C91E59.83DAB180 Content-Type: application/msword; name="PETITION - Original.doc" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="PETITION - Original.doc" 0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPgADAP7/CQAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAATwAAAAAAAAAA EAAAUQAAAAEAAAD+////AAAAAE4AAAD///////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// <snip> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA _OR_ PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=image/jpeg:/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQIAAAAAAAD/2wBDAAEBAQEBAQ EBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBA QH/2wBDAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEB _OR_ ------=_NextPart_000_0036_01C91E59.83DAB180 Content-Type: application/pdf; name="spider bite case.pdf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="spider bite case.pdf" JVBERi0xLjQNCiXi48/TDQo2NyAwIG9iag0KPDwNCi9MaW5lYXJpemVkIDENCi9MIDEyNzYzMCAg ICANCi9IIFsgNjkzIDgyOCAgICAgICAgICAgICAgXQ0KL08gNjkNCi9FIDU2OTk2ICAgICANCi9O <snip> aWxlcg0KPDwNCi9TaXplIDY3DQovSUQgWzwyOGJmNGU1ZTRlNzU4YTQxNjQwMDRlNTZmZmZhMDEw OD48MjhiZjRlNWU0ZTc1OGE0MTY0MDA0ZTU2ZmZmYTAxMDg+XQ0KPj4NCnN0YXJ0eHJlZg0KMTQ2 DQolJUVPRg== ------=_NextPart_000_0036_01C91E59.83DAB180-- Years ago, there was an old uuencode/uudecode script that I recall using in DOS, but I don't have anything similar in my Linux tool box yet.
