Using the rev function base64decode() and then writing to a binfile, I can
make it work. I guess I would feel more comfortable working from the standard
versus my observations. (AppleScript could tell Expander to do it for me but I
would still need a Windows way.) Does anyone know which RFC, or
would still need a Windows way.) Does anyone know which RFC, or
something else, that defines the formatting of attachments ?
from what i've seen in reading the rfc's is that using base64 is the
most compatible.. but also note that some email clients don't encode
plain text files (my own email
I am playing with the 'POP library' stack (thank you and kudos to Sarah) and
it's time to decode the attachments. I can write my own decodes for the easy
ones, like TXT and HTML, but I would like to better understand the format and
do something that could be reused by others. Has anyone already
Hi Chris,
The encoding just reads the file as binary data, then uses
base64encode. If you did the reverse, remembering to save as a binfile,
I reckon it should work no matter what the file type.
If you wanted to use Stuffit Expander instead, I have a technique I use
sometimes for Apple Mail
