Correct except it's HTML. I strip this out by saving the message with "save
as" then loading that file into notepad/wordpad and removing everything from
below:

Just above the header for the file(s). Can be quite long. The file "text" is
noticable by it's shear block size.
Then save the file. Quit notepad/wordpad then open the file. Voila! The
attachments will be visible. If it doesn't work just start over until you
get the correct parts out.
Even if it doesn't work for this it should help others. Lots easier doing
slideshows on the desktop than in an .eml. :^b
