Hey, no problem, that is what this list is for, though I am sorry it
took me so darn long to answer you! :)

Ok, you have a file that has an image in it... you can do something like this:
irb> require ''rubygems''
irb> require ''tmail''
irb> m = TMail::Mail.load(''email_with_attachment.txt'')
irb> m.has_attachments?
=> true
irb> m.attachments
=> [#<TMail::Attachment:0x14e44a8>,
#<TMail::Attachment:0x14e4084>]
irb> m.attachments[0].read
<<LOTS OF OUTPUT>>
Basically, an attachment inherits from the StringIO class, and
StringIO class in TMail has the ability to read and write.
So you can just read in the file, then write it out to disk and you
should be good.
Hope that helps.
This is definately somewhere where a bit more documentation would be
useful. Wanna help out?
