More communications problems. My unix system doesn't seem to handle MIME

I sent them from a unix system, using pine. Yes, I think they are encoded
with something called "base 64". In pine, if I select "save attachment",
it is saved as a gif file, even with its original name.

It's probably not unix at fault, it's probably the email reader.
