(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs Paul Gearon <pag at tams.com.au>)

I've just realised that I deleted a file from my system that I really need.
Fortunately I had emailed it to someone using netscape.  Unfortunately I'm
not on that computer, so I con't run netscape to find it.

Anyway, I got the "Sent" file that netscape uses, and I've found the file I
need in the middle of a mail message.  The mime header looks like this:

--------------DF6E2EEAA06021CE7539733C
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
 name="X-X-doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
 filename="X-X-doc"

Does anyone know what I can use to extract this file?

Regards,
Paul
