A noddy question, if I may. When you say 'extract the attachments', /exactly/ what are you doing? MIME uses base-64 encoding to reduce binary files to mailable text; normally your email client will, when you say 'save attachment', do all the needed decoding to leave the original file. But if you manually extract the parts from the message source, then you'll have to do the conversion yourself (obviously!) There are some simple enough tools eg in the perl library to help here. .... > > I would really like for OpenOffice.org to be able to open them directly > from the base 64 attachments... Somehow, I doubt even the 'market leader' office suite will do this.
