Does anyone have a MIME decoder that will work on a Mac?

:      First of all, all the files you mentioned are binary. FreeAgent
: decodes uue-encoded binaries (the ones that start out "begin44...",
: but does not decode base64-encoded binaries (the ones that start out
: "/9j/...", or whatever). If you like FreeAgent (and who doesn't?), go
: ahead and get the latest version of Agent, which DOES decode all
: binary picture files, including base64. It has a lot more features
: than FreeAgent, and is a bargain, price-wise. If you don't want to do
: that, let me know and I'll send you a small but efficient Base64
: decoder which you can use to manually decode the Base64 files you save
: to disk.
