The file is not a standard mbox file --its been cut and pasted from an mbox
file just to try and decode the encoded portion. Also ripmime seems to be a little difficult for me at the moment. i am more used to the .deb versions of the various softwares. Thank you for the reply.

There's base64(1) from coreutils, there's a mimencode package, and even openssl can handle it (openssl base64). If you have MIME::Base64 installed, you can write your own perl one-liner.
If nothing works, try coding your own. The base 64 algorithm is so simple that you can have a C version up and running in an hour or so.
