David,
 You will need a copy of Binscii v1.0 (by David C. Whitney). This
will convert the text only stream in the message to a file. If the
file created has a suffix like .SHK you will need to run Shrinkit
on it too. I'm not too sure how you will go about getting Binscii
since it obviously can't be sent Binscii'ed. I got my copy from
America Online I think. Never found a use for it until I finally
got Internet access about 3 months ago.
