is there an error in mimetools in python 2.1 for windows?

[Arnulf Heimsbakk]

I'm posting this message again with the correct information. Sorry about the
last posting. But here it is :)

I'm trying to decode a base64 message in python 2.1 for windows with
mimetools. I have tested the "body" with windows winzip. It decodes
correctly. When I try to decode it in python, it do not decode correctly. I
get a file with slightly increased size. The heading of the file seems the
same, but when I test this with a jpg file - the file gets corrupted when
decoded with python's mimetools.

Is there a error in mimetools? Or is my approach entirly incorrect. My code
is below:

out = StringIO()
mimetools.decode(StringIO(self.body), out,  'base64')
return out.getvalue()

I preciate any advise or help I can get.
