Why not?  PCElm recognizes MIME and decodes Base64 attachments without
any trouble: I thought you used to use KA9Q/Snews/PCElm, so would have
expected you to remember this.

OTOH, SNews *doesn't* handle MIME, nor automatic decoding of attachments.
This, IMHO, is as things should be, because one of the Ms in MIME stand
for "mail", and MIME doesn't belong in news articles (no, not even to
handle the vexed question of pound-sterling-signs, etc).

(Aha; just looked back at the headers: you're *not* the usual Tez who's
contributed to this group in the past; hence your confusion, no doubt.)
