Can't read emails sent in MIME format

[frankie]

I use my gmail account for work and often receive emails in MIME
format. Unfortunately the attachments come as part of the body and are
unreadable. How can I fix this?

You need to tell the sender to fix their mail program. If the
attachments appear as part of the body of the messages, their mail
program is clearly not building a valid message.

Are you privy to the MUA that these emails are being sent from. Unencode
or uucode is popular in the UNIX community. Messages attachments sent
with this format are encapsuled into MIME contents.

Normally, attachments are sent as Base64, but that is not a hard and
fast rule. I find it surprising that Gmail is chocking on this though.
You might want to forward one of these emails directly to Google for
analysis.
