Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Message from Ecomstation...?

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

In fact sometimes something goes wrong and the base64 text is not
decoded. I have to save the file, snip off everything except the
base64 text, and then run through a base64 decoder (DOS program).
Had to do it yesterday on a message from Virgin Mobile in the UK.
I sent them a nastygram asking them in future to send nothing but
plain ascii text.

I can send the decoder to anyone who wants it. There are also
online engines to do this in a browser.
