I have an email with an attachment which will not open in OO. When the email is opened in a text editor I get this after the body of the message. Is there any way to open and read this?
You can copy-and-paste the blob of data to a temporary file and run "base64 -d blob.txt" (as the attachment is base64-encoded). However, I've tried it and it decodes some of it and then reports "invalid input".
Making it so that the base64 parses at least lets you know that it's corrupt, it does appear to be a word doc, of some type, but it's not pretty.
I'd get the sender to try again, unless it was spam ;)
