Hello,

If I use PGP/MIME and encrypt/sign a message* with an attachment, say a
JPEG  file, and send it to myself at another TheBat! account then I can
PGP decrypt the message but the JPEG is shown as base64 text within the
message.   To   view the JPEG (or base64) I have to cut/paste and save
to  another  file where I can use a 'shell' utility to right click the
file and decode the base64 material.

If  I  do  not use PGP/MIME (set to 'off') and repeat the above then the
JPEG appears as a separate attachment and can be viewed within TheBAt!
message.

I know some other clients decode PGP/MIME base64 and present it within
the message (TurnPike, Eudora), so, is there a plugin for TheBat! that
could decode base64 on the fly? I suppose there are virus implications
which is why TheBat! does not decode base64 inline! Although I would
imagine the AV software that most people run would cope with it.




*   I  have  to  ensure  that  under  properties|mailmanagement  8bit
characters  have  to  be  set  as 'quoted-printable' otherwise even my
message text appears as base64.
