Well, I have a plugin for Thunderbird that does it:

I think I recall someone writing a BASE64 encode/decode in filePro some time 
back?  (Or maybe someone was just talking about it, but didn't actually do 
it?  It's been several years.)

If you need, there are plenty of online BASE64 decoders available.  Just 
search for "base64 decoder".
