Re: [tdf-moderators] gmail sidebar widget helper for base64 encoded messages (for those who are new to the list)

Great, Christian.  I don't use gmail for moderating, but the free-standing version will be a big 
help.

If I don't recognize sender and/or subject of base64 encoded messages, I have been copying and 
pasting to a standard named file and running a little script on it in a terminal window.  But I'll 
open your html window instead now.  It'll be a big time-saver.  Thanks.
