Peter, I use a small DOS program called MUNPACK. Works very well. Simply save
the message as a text file (1.txt, for instance), then go to the dos prompt and
run this command: munpack 1.txt
You can find munpack at many Internet sites (actually you'll probably find it
listed as mpack: this includes both mpack and munpack). Try http://vsl.cnet.com/. (I used the Quick Search to search for mpack and found it
there.)
