How to decode an email attachment received as a Base64 text
Select the long string of text which appears in your email. That is probably one of the attachments, it usually starts like this:
--bcaec554d754b0f76a04d9fda578-- --bcaec554d754b0f77204d9fda57a Content-Type: application/pdf; name="test.pdf" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Otest.pdf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 X-Attachment-Id: 9ba6310dffca527f_0.1
Copy this long string and paste it in the Base64 decoder found here.
Download the output and rename it by adding the appropriate extension to it. For example
testfile.pdf
orfilename.docx
.
There you go. You just recreated your lost attachment using Base64 decoding.
