Thread: How to convert base64 email attachment to jpg?

i receive lot of emails christmas gift of wireless webcam, each 1 containing jpeg attachment. when @ attachment text file, begins:

code:

--===message_0123456789 content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii  camera name : dcs-932l ip address : 192.168.0.196 time : 2011-12-30 07:24:36  --===message_0123456789 content-type: image/jpeg; name="20111230_072436_00.jpg" content-transfer-encoding: base64  /9j/xafeaaacawebaqebaaaaaaaaaaaaaqidbaugbwgjeaacaqiebamebwuebgeaafcbagmaeqqs itetqvfhbsiyfhgbkrujqljiobegm3lb0srdu4iwnjki4fhwbwgxgcumjyg1njc4revgr0huvvzx wgnkzwznahn0dxz3eioehyahijoulzaxmkokpaanqlkztlw2t7jcw8tfxsfi0tpu1dbx2olj5oxm 5+jy8/t19vf4aqebaqebaqebaqeaaaaaaaaaaqidbaugbwgjeqacaqiebamebwuebgeaafcaarec iqmsmuetilfhbdjxbrqjqjnsgzghsfagfchr4srdyvewjtrtcoksbwgxgcynkdu2nzheruzhsfrv

i'm guessing part interested in begins with

content-type: image/jpeg;


if save part beginning that, or beginning else, not recognized .jpg file.

tried running imagemagick convert command, no .jpg emerges it.

used know simple windows command this, have long forgotten, , assume there equally simple linux command, not apparent in bing.com searches have done, or in searches here.

know solution?

when @ attachment text file

is there reason you're doing this? surely want view image? open image viewer.
