Well, that's a Base64 transfer encoded text (meaning: *** Dear Bhante an). There are various freeware decoders for Base64 around, try googling for it!

I am using Pegasus Mail to regularly collate hundreds of emails that are contributions to a newsletter. I use CTRL-A and CTRL-S to save all the emails in the appropriate folder as editable text files. Unfortunately an increasing number of contributors are sending mail from mobile devices such as Blackberries. Although the emails look just fine in Pegasus, the output when saved to a text file is a very long and seemingly random sequence of letters, such as "KioqDQoNCkRlYXIgQmhhbnRlIGFu..."

I have been pasting these emails across into the collated text file individually, but as more and more people use these devices that is becoming impractical. Does anyone know a workaround for this please?
