I am capturing full session data on my network.  So for example when one person sends an email attachment to another person, I was able to open the session and grab the attachment which was base64 encoded. I could then decode that attachment and recover the original file. It seems that mailers like hotmail and gmail are now content-encoding in gzip and transfer-encoding using chunking. Does anyone know of a program or process to reassemble the chunks, so I can then gunzip the content and again recover the original attachment?

 

Thanks, I have looked everywhere and found nothing.
