I have spent quite a while using emacs's help before resorting
to this posting. I apologize if I missed the solution.
I am on linux, running GNU Emacs 21.3.1
The question is about attachments in rmail---they arrive
embedded, like this:

I tried extracting the region (starting with JV...) and applying
the emacs function base64-decod<tab>
A lot was decoded correctly, but not all the \xxx characters were
correct. This was determined by diff'ing with correct version of the
pdf file. acroread on the result was a failure (blank pages).
Do you have advice?
Thank you,
Lynda
