Every once in a while I get attachments which show as:

and I was just wondering how to copy/paste or turn that into, in this
case, an mp3.

That "ascii garbage" is base64 encoded content. You'll want
to decode that.


Copy all of that "garbage" (in your case, starting from the line with
"/+MYx"… up to all of those "qqq") into a text file named, in this case,
voice_message_2012-5-8_15-47-26.mp3.b64.

Then, in a terminal, run:

$ base64 -d voice_message_2012-5-8_15-47-26.mp3.b64 >
voice_message_2012-5-8_15-47-26.mp3


voice_message_2012-5-8_15-47-26.mp3 will then be your MP3 file.

PS: What does this have to do with Ubuntu?

Err, I use Ubuntu and it shows up on my Ubuntu box? Total stretch..

No, the reason I asked here is the high degree of knowledge available and
helpfulness. It's not *that* off topic is?

And it behaves differtly on, let's say, Windows?


No?


So, in how far is the question related or special to Ubuntu?

Yes, there is good knowledge here. But your question is very much off topic. Nonetheless, I provided a, as I hope, helpful answer. Btw : did it work?
