Hello.

I've done something similar with audio clips and those were in base 64 format. A quick base64decode function call should do the trick.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I have a situation where customer orders come to me via email with a
photo attachment.  It occurred to me that I could use rev to create a
db front end that could be pointed at the appropriate mailbox folder
and then have it extract each message.  Then, each message becomes a
record in my db.

Extracting the data is a piece o cake.  Then I come to the
attachment.  Apple apparently uses a compression technique to store
the image (jpg, bmp, whatever) within each individual message.  Has
anybody fiddled with reading and displaying these attachments?  Any
thoughts?  Ideas?  Laughs? ;=)

Well, as a last resort you could leave it in Mail, and then use
AppleScript to get at the message and its attachments. Barring that, I
haven't had to read embedded mail attachments directly, but I'd assume
they are either BinHexed or AppleDouble encoded...
