Mabry's Mail control handles MIME formatted messages. It's
inexpensive and a free trial version is available at www.mabry.com.
The control handles base64, binhex, etc and makes dealing with
attachments easy.
Fyi:
The MIME spec (RFC 1521) describes, among other things, how to format
attachments in the body of a message. That's how attachments are
handled. So asking about "different e-mail formats like Mime and
Attachments" is not quite correct. They aren't different, Mime
encompasses and includes attachments in its spec.
