How to Decode an Email in MIME Format

1. Load the contents of the email message.
2. Check the "Content-Type" header. If the content type is multipart (i.e. "multipart/mixed", "multipart/alternative", etc) the message will have multiple sections to parse. If the content type is multipart, continue with below steps.
3. The Content-Type header should contain a unique string used by the code that generated the MIME message to designate MIME part boundaries. Example:Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021"The boundary string in this case is "part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021".
4. Each MIME part will be separated by the boundary string preceeded by two dashes ("--") on a blank line. You will need to scan the message line by line looking for the part boundaries. All text in between the boundaries *except the final CR/LF* is part of that MIME part.Important: The last MIME part will end with the boundary string followed by two more dashes.Example:--part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021
First MIME part.--part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021
Second MIME part--part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021
Last MIME part.--part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021--
5. Each MIME part then needs to be parsed. The format of each MIME part is similar to the original RFC/822 formatted message. It will contain a series of headers, followed by a blank line, then the body data.
6. A MIME part can itself be multipart, with its own "Content-Type" header and boundary string. Your code must recursively parse MIME parts until it reaches the child nodes.
7. A MIME part can simply be a binary attachment. In this case a Filename header will usually be supplied, along with the transfer encoding. BASE64 is a popular encoding type. In this case the entire MIME part body must be BASE64 decoded. As an example here are the first few lines of an attached JPG image:------_=_NextPart_003_01C755EF.43F2628D
Content-Type: image/jpeg;
name="testimage.jpg"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: testimage.jpg
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="testimage.jpg"/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDAAgGBgcGBQgHBwcJCQgKDBQNDAsLDBkSEw8UHRofHh0a
HBwgJC4nICIsIxwcKDcpLDAxNDQ0Hyc5PTgyPC4zNDL/2wBDAQkJCQwLDBgNDRgyIRwhMjIyMjIy
MjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjL/wAARCAQABQQDASIA
AhEBAxEB/8QAHwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQA
8. The HTML body of the message should be in a MIME section with ContentType: Text/Html, inside a ContentType: Multipart/Alternative MIME section.
9. The plaintext body of the message should be in a MIME section with ContentType: Text/plain, inside a ContentType: Multipart/Alternative MIME section.

How to Decode the Blue Screen of Death Errors

1. Reboot the computer, and disable the automatic restart during a BSOD error. Right-click 'My Computer,' then 'Properties' and then the 'Advanced' tab. Click 'Settings' under 'Startup and Recovery.' Uncheck the 'Automatically Restart' under the 'System Failure' section. The process applies to most versions of Windows, including XP and 7.
2. Recreate the issue. Open the programs you were using and attempt to generate the issue. A majority of the time, you will be unable to recreate the issue. The next BSOD error that occurs will not reboot your computer automatically, giving you time to write down the technical information.
3. Write down the first aspect of the error. The second section will have a sentence without spaces, such as 'PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.' This is what caused the computer to crash. The page fault error implies a possibly damaged memory module. 'INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE' indicates that the drivers for a storage device or hard drive were incorrectly installed. Most other common errors involve the word 'DRIVER' pointing at a faulty driver.
4. Copy down the impacted file name. The section under 'Technical Information' lists the exact error in coded message. The first section is programming language. The second section will list a file. The standard file listed will be a combination of letters and numbers followed by '.dll' which is a device driver data file. For example, 'ati3diag.dll' may be displayed.
5. Open the 'Search' engine for the computer. Click 'Start' and 'Search' for Windows XP. Click 'Start' for Windows 7. Type the file name into the search engine to locate the file folder that holds the file. Some files will be in a 'win32' folder which is a generic Windows folder. The majority will be housed in file folders specific to a program. The program will need to be uninstalled and reinstalled.
