    I have an email with an animated GIF in I would like to extract but there is a problem. RAther than being attached it has somehow been embeddded. The "Save as picture" only has a bitmap option (Outlook 2000) and if I try a copy and paste into word etc. the picture isn't included. Any ideas ? Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

      Does copying the GIF and pasting it somewhere else help? You need to make the email editable first (Right click -> Edit Message). Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro

        maybe forward the message to an account where you can get the mails with a web interface can solve the problem. :confused:

              Eudora does that sometimes. They have both an Attach folder and an Embedded one. Can you view the source on it? Can you Select All copy and paste in Word? "If only one person knows the truth, it is still the truth." - Mahatma Gandhi Web - Blog - RSS

                The problem is that I only get a .BMP option so would lose the GIF animation. The tigress is here :-D

                        Someone else may have suggested this but whenever I have this problem I forward it to my Yahoo or Google Webmail. Then it's pretty easy to handle from there. - Rex

                          I'm getting old. I actually read it and forgot it. :) But you can't view the post? Is it possible that it is a link? Can you save the message as a text file or message locally, then open it in Notepad to see what's there? Also, what's your email client?

                            If you can get the raw email. Outlook has a view raw option somewhere in the properties I think, then you can get the base64 string for the image and use something like this: http://www.gulftech.org/tools/base64.pl[^] to covert it to the gif. (I just googled for the online coverter, I'd probably just write a simple C# app to do the coversion myself.)

                                IIRC, if you give the raw file the correct extension (.b64 for base 64, I know .uue works for UUEncoded things), Winzip will decode any contained attachments for you Stuart Dootson 'Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p'
