Received a mail from a no-response mailer. The email has what looks like a .doc file embedded rather than attached. How can I access this .doc? This is how the embedded text starts ..

--=_5670F60323811420E10080000A82A3EC Content-Disposition: attachment; 

filename="FR7000609906.DOC"

Content-Type: application/msword; 

name="FR7000609906.DOC"

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Description: FR7000609906.doc

You can't embed documents. And look, it says "Content-Disposition: attachment;".

I presume the real problem here is that Thunderbird doesn't offer it as an attachment.
