RE: COMP: converting imbedded photo back into jpg

It is possible, but not likely, that uuencode was used on the photo.
What probably happened was somewhere, along the way, the photo got
mangled and thus you see the photo expressed in ASCII characters. Your
best bet is to request that the photo be resent as an attachment to the
message.

Subject: [iris] COMP: converting imbedded photo back into jpg

I am hoping that I can manage to express this well enough so that you
can figure out what I am asking.  Of course the fact that I can't even
articulate the question easily gives me concern that I won't be able to
understand the suggestions but its worth a shot.

I received a file which was supposed to be a photo.  It was imbedded in
the text of the e-mail.  Apparently this e-mail account couldn't process
the photo.  What I ended up with is the characters that represent the
pixels.  

MVP!#`0,$!`4$!0D%!0D4#0L-%!04%!04%!04%!04%!04%!04%!04%!04%!04
M%!04%!04%!04%!04%!04%!04%!04%!3_P``1"`,@`A4#`2(``A$!`Q$!_\0`
M'P```04!`0$!`0$```````````$"`P0%!@<("0H+_\0`M1```@$#`P($`P4%
M!`0```%]`0(#``01!1(A,4$&$U%A!R)Q%#*!D:$((T*QP152T?`D,V)R@@D*

is a sample of what it looks like.

Is there a way to convert the characters back into pixels?  It would be
a lot easier to try and get it resent as a .jpg file, but it doesn't
look like that will happen.
