FWIW

Tip:
If you just need to decode the odd dodgy email that contains Base64 mush
(eg from Blackberries)

Notepad++ has a tool to decode it (called TextFX )

Paste in the b64 text, select it,
TextFX > TextFX Tools > Base64 Decode

TextFX is unmaintained. See http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/n ... 27s_Future.

The MIME Tools plugin bundled with Notepad++ supports Base64 encoding and decoding as well. Plugins -> MIME Tools -> Base64 Decode.

Thanks for that tip. That is exactly why I needed to decode base64.

I had received a mail on my hotmail account saying that due to unexpected activity I had to validate my hotmail account details. Suspiciously, the hotmail system itself had disabled a link in the email for my safety. The raw header looked legitimate, so I wanted to see what the disabled link was originally. The body of the email was completely encoded base64. As I didn't think that I could find a tool fairly easily to decode it, I reported it as a phishing attempt, but my curiosity had to be left unsatisfied.

Now I know that I cane use Notepad++ which I already have on my system.
