Subject: bug#1141: 23.0.60; RMAIL: can't display base64 encoded message
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2008 08:25:06 +0200 [thread overview]

Hi,
This is not a bug, but a missing feature. Rmail never supported
multipart email messages. There's an effort to add this to Rmail in
the future, but for now, you will have to decode the base64-encoded
part manually, after typing `e' to make the message editable: mark the
encoded part, type "M-x base64-decode-region RET", then "C-c C-c", and
finally "M-x rmail-redecode-body RET utf-8 RET" to decode the text
into Emacs's internal character representation.
Thank you Eli. It worked perfectly.
Maybe we can tag this bug report as WISHLIST or similar ?
Xavier
