You'll need a program called 'ESSCODE 6.4' which can be found at 
hensa:

ftp to micros.hensa.co.uk

/micros/atari/tos/n/n172/

and you'll find it there.

Then you need to know what sort of encoding is used.  Its usually mime 
(also known as Base 64) but the garbage at the start will tell you 
that.

Also you may need to join the parts together to make one file, use a 
word processor for that.

becareful if you do the above, deleting parts can be dengerous and 
corrupt files :(

ATb.
