True. Of course there is another way. SeaMonkey uses mbox format to the
mail folder is just one big text file. Your can search and cutout the
base64 encoded image out of the message. If sone this in the past to fix
corrupted mail accounts. I made perl scripts that deconstruct mbox file
into individual eml files, then I could tweak afflicted emails, and then
reconstruct eml files back into the mbox file.
Wouldn't that be huge in a text editor if the images like MB big?
Yep. Especially since binary data "expands" 50-100% after encoding to
allow it to be sent via a text-only protocol. So the email will be a
multipart so there will be boundary markers:
boundary="------------020001060407070209050004"
search for "------------020001060407070209050004" and closing marker has
an extra trailing "--"
"------------020001060407070209050004--" and delete...
That is why I made perl scripts to do it.
