Re: decoding base64
I keep getting e-mail through Juno from my boyfriend who is on an aircraft carrier. The last time, I used uuencode. This time it says base64. Can you tell my why they are coming to me encoded. Also, is there an easy way for me to decode this message. The uuencode doesn't work. Maybe it is just me, I am not familiar with this stuff. He's mailing his messages using MIME - which is typically used for mailing attachments. Some mailers (including Netscape 4) send out all their mail in MIME encoded form (unless told not to). To decode the messages, the best bet is to use a mail program that understands MIME. Failing that, you can use mimedecode (from the mimedecode Debian package) to decode it.

Re: decoding base64
Sorry to follow up to my own message - but mimedecode doesn't do what I though it did. I was thinking of uudeview from the uudeview package. Cheers, - Jim pgprEgZoU8oOP.pgp Description: PGP signature

I used it earlier today to decode a file someone sent me as four message/partial parts (argh Microsoft mailer). cat file1 file2 file3 file4 | munpack worked nicely. The message contained some text and a file.

The Debian package you need is the mpack package found in the mail section. The programs munpack and mpack, decode and encode base-64 encoded files. This should do the job for you.
