Anyone know how to convert an Outhouse Excuse "eml" attachment to a real file format such as JPEG?

Some might ask what file types you're expecting to convert to JPEG? My first thought was a screen capture app..but probably not what you're lookn for.

It looks like a regular txt file, that OE is associated with. Any text editor can open it.

According to this
I've never done EML files, but its not difficult to examine the innards of e-mail messages saved on systems like UNIX/Linux. Try peeking inside one with a plain text editor. Look for labels like:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary="--1234567"
Additional attributes will tell you what each part is and how it is encoded.

It's an embedded image. My Eudora Pro v7.1.0.9 can display it immersed in the body of the E-mail, but I can't otherwise do anything with it. All my assorted viewers and PaintShopPro throw up when I attempt to load it.

Can't you just right click on the image and save it? al
I still use old Mozilla for email and clicking on an eml attachment simply opens the email that it carries. Usually a copy of an email that the sender wants me to see in its original form, not as a forwarded message in a new email body.
So your email client can't do that?
The dreaded winmail.dat is a whole 'nother matter. IMHO that was a rather stupid decision by MS.

Found it as a JPG... Eudora tucks these messes generated by Outhouse Excuse into a directory named "Embedded"

You could also decode the base 64 format that it is in using

comes the file.
Save the file with a .b64 extension and pkzip will figure it out.

It's really a TNEF file:

Turns out that Eudora pulls a sleight of hand, converts it to JPG, but hides it away in a directory named "Embedded" that I didn't even know existed.

There's also an odd little program called Fentun:
It seems to work, though lately I've stopped getting winmail.dat attachments, perhaps because the idiot who kept sending them to me went bust.

Yes, one of the "nice" f*overs of spending too much time being "user friendly" and not setting up appropriate configuration,
