Saving inline attachment?

[Jan van Leeuwen]

I received a message today where the attachment was sent as part of the
message,
rather than as a separate attachment. Like this:

------=_NextPart_000_0016_01C3BA45.F84A8950
Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed;
name="Dutch_DB.zip"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="Dutch_DB.zip"

UEsDBBQAAAAIAKx0gy+zIkgIKhIAAAB0AAAhAAAARTIyN01CIE5MIFRlcm1pbm9sb2d5IERldGFp
bHMuZG9j7V0LcFTXef7vviUksSAQT8PFxgTXWMjYYJAdIiEhBJZARgJBQg1Xu1fSyqu9yj7AeEgq
etc.

Is there any tool to extract the attachment from the message text.

I'm afraid asking the sender to resend the message (and attachment) is not
an option for the moment... :-(

you'll need a decoder program to convert it back to a file. I used an old
program called wincode years ago but winzip and other zip programs may be
able to convert it. There used to be some instructions at winzip.com - look
for uuencode information.

Great!

Thanks, Diane.

For those who are looking for this info as well, I found the info I needed
here:

You can just save your message as a txt file from Outlook and drag
the txt file into the Winzip window. Winzip automatically recognizes
the embedded files.
