Why do you believe they're .jpeg format?
My guess is you've got some other format.
All I received are files called "Attachment 5, Attachment 6. ect. I can
open
them in a text editor like TextEdit or in Firefox
Can't you just drag 'n drop the individual photos from TextEdit or Firefox
directly onto your desktop? Then open these desktop files with something like
GraphicConverter or PhotoShop.
Kris,
If I delete all the extraneous email headers, HTML code and actual email
messages I'm left with this:

[Cut]
this goop goes on for a number of MB's
I did try saving the entire file as .jpg and opening in PhotoShop and I get the
message:
"Could not open "attachment6.jpeg because JPEG marker segment length is too
short (file may be truncated or incomplete)."
So I assume I am not selecting and saving the proper header text info for a
graphic reader to open the file properly. If I drop the entire file into PS I
still get the same message. Perhaps I need to add some kind of text marker to ID
the file as jpeg? --glen
Save the file from the start of /9j/ to the end before the
------NextPart--- etc.
Bring up command prompt, and do:
openssl base64 -d -in <infile> -out <outfile>
And it will convert the file to an actual jpg from a base64 encoded
attachment. Should do the trick!
