Occasionally I am sent email messages that include inline images. My
.vm has
(setq vm-mime-internal-content-types '("text" "message/rfc822" "image"))
and the images are usually (always?) displayed as part of the message. Some
times I also want to save the image and I usually do that by cutting out
the relevant portion of the message - inevitably base64 encoded - then
decoding and saving. My problem at the moment is that I have gotten
such a message which as usual displays nicely, but when I try to decode
the base64 encoded jpeg image I get the error message "Invalid base64
data". An hour or so looking at the VM manual and prowling the web
hasn't provide a solution. Any suggestions?

please file a bug report and attach the message. If you are not using the
latest version, then the first step would be to upgrade to it.
