if you are using a mac, then it's easy.
but basically ,  you need to strip out the attachment then run them  
through a UUdecode program. ( windows mail programs should do this  
automatically)
I don't know what you are trying to do ,but if it is to read the  
attachment on your windows email, then  you have got your windows  
thingy , mis-configured.
I.E it's you client setup.

it is sometimes down to the users playing with the configurations in  
their mail programs, or that damned internet explorer reconfiguring  
the default file types


if you have it scripted, then just go look on the internet for   
"uudecoding utilities"
