Hi All,

	How do you convert a mime formatted mail that u received
	back to the original format like ascii or binary.

	Are there any tools to do this and where do I get them.

Thanks in advance.

    If Pine tells you that there is an attachment to your email --
which is what I suppose you are referring to by "mime formatted mail"
-- it will usually tell you whether the file can be viewed or not.  If
not, you will have the option of saving the attachment in a file.  Pine
should take care of the conversion for you automatically.  (This
assumes the attachment was sent in base64 encoding the way Pine itself
does it.)  If your situation is different, you may need to provide more
details.
