Hello,
Thanks for your help, but I'm still having problems displaying the
image correctly. This snippet from the .eml file says it's base 64:
--FTG_BOUNDRY
Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="Pool Table.jpg"
Content-disposition: attachment
Content-transfer-encoding: base64
But, when I open the file within rev...strip out all the text ahead
of the attachment...strip out all the junk past the end of the
attachment...then set the image data of an image to base64Decode
(theattachment)...I get mostly a black image with a sliver of hash on
the left side.
I have got to be missing something basic here!

Hello.
I've done something similar with audio clips and those were in base
64 format. A quick base64decode function call should do the trick.
Thanks,

Hello all,
I have a situation where customer orders come to me via email with a
photo attachment. It occurred to me that I could use rev to
create a
db front end that could be pointed at the appropriate mailbox folder
and then have it extract each message. Then, each message becomes a
record in my db.
Extracting the data is a piece o cake. Then I come to the
attachment. Apple apparently uses a compression technique to store
the image (jpg, bmp, whatever) within each individual message. Has
anybody fiddled with reading and displaying these attachments? Any
thoughts? Ideas? Laughs? ;=)
Well, as a last resort you could leave it in Mail, and then use
AppleScript to get at the message and its attachments. Barring
that, I
haven't had to read embedded mail attachments directly, but I'd
assume
they are either BinHexed or AppleDouble encoded...
