When you send an email with and attachment using outlook x , where does the attachment reside in the file that is being sent? In other words if you look at the raw contents of a message where does the attachment appear?

I believe the file resides on the Exchange server until you click on the attachment if you don't have offline viewing enabled where you are downloading all the messages.

I.E. attachment "STRECHA6_3S.zip" resides after Header looking like that:

------=_NextPart_000_0086_01C0A79E.FCB58600
Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed;
name="STRECHA6_3S.zip"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="STRECHA6_3S.zip"

You must be able decode base64 format. There a freeware products to do that.
