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

This is a known problem (assuming you are talking about IE) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=810978[^]
Tried that, no luck :( The tigress is here :-D

maybe forward the message to an account where you can get the mails with a web interface can solve the problem. :confused:
Afriad it didn't even have the picture then :^) The tigress is here :-D

As I said in the post, it doesn't include the picture then. 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'
