Easiest thing I recommend people do is create a folder on the desktop, put the files in there, then bring up a command prompt and type "cd ~/Desktop/FolderName" and run the commands in there. So if you've saved a file called 'myimage.txt' and want to change it to 'myimage.jpg', you'd do in that directory: openssl base64 -d -in myimage.txt -out myimage.jpg And the commands are in Terminal?

The first question is are you actually able to see them as inline photos?

Re: Extracting JPEGl Files From Phone "Attachments"
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)." I've had this message before in Photoshop, but I've been able to open (and re-save) the image with Graphic Converter. Can't hurt to try.
