Images tend to get coded in two main formats, only one of which is supported by this hack. I have a couple of UU-decode scripts written in PHP which I have tried to integrate with this script with only partial success. My PHP is limited so I couldn't figure out the final issues. (Any volunteers who are familiar with the gateway script want to look at it?)

While testing this script, I also came across a 3rd type of encoding (a MAC verison) which would also need to be decoded. Other things to take into account with downloading binaries is that your db will grow very quickly. I was intending to try and integrate another VB hack that stores attachments as files instead of within the db with this script so it just takes up disk space instead.
