If you can read all the file content in Word, and especially if the first and last lines are not corrupted, then file file itself is probably not corrupt. It's probably just not in the required format for importing into Juno. The fact you could retrieve some content via the utility you refer to suggests as much. Juno might, for example, simply expect the file to be in its saved emails folder, rather than being a file to import.

IIRC, MIME content has a fixed line length (80 or 127 chars?). If that's correct, it may be a simply matter of using Find?Replace in Word to delete all 'paragraphs' of that length. This won't work, though, if the body text of the emails is similarly formatted.

Thing is, I distinctly remember recovering MIME/UUENCODE content from emails in the past, and it wasn't at all difficult. But it was so long ago (~15-20 years) I can't remember the details.
