Arachne can read base64. I got an email Christmas/New Year greeting with base64-encoded attachment, downloaded by UKA_PPP. I renamed file to have .MES extension, treated as ordinary (offline) URL, and Arachne read it. I knew the encoding was base64 by examining the raw data. Arachne is not always able to display .GIF or .JPG images. I also have MPACK/MUNPACK program that can decode base64 attachments given the entire email message in raw-data form. Then I can view a graphic with DISPLAY or PICTVIEW with better graphic display capability than Arachne offers.
