I am fiddling around with S/MIME emails (sent from https://ttpedge.sitenv.org/ttp/#/hisp/smtp).
I want to view the entire email, but when I export the message I get this:

I just tried saving the attachment and apparently it's saving it in a binary format. If I look at this in Gmail's "original" view it shows up b64 encoded (of course this is probably obvious as I'm looking at it in the browser).
Do I have to convert the attachment myself? Or is there a way I can export it b64 encoded.

A simple way to do this, which assumes you save your mail in mbox format, is just save the message to a different folder with no other messages. Then, the file which corresponds to that folder in ~/Mail will contain essentially that message. It will also contain Pine/Alpines "placeholder" message:
This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is
not a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system
software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will
be re-created with the data reset to initial values.
but that is easy to remove.

IIRC, you can press "h" and have it switched (forth and back).
This confirms it: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/help/faq?faqid=1080#pine
- In Alpine, open the message for viewing.
Type h so as to switch on viewing of full headers.
If you only wanted to view the full headers, you need not read further, but if you want to forward a copy of the headers, continue as
shown below.
Type f to forward the message.
- Pine may ask you if you want to forward the message as an
attachment; answer No to this.
- Enter the forwarding address and any notes of your own above the
forwarded text.
- Enter CTRL-X (hold down CTRL and type x) to send the message.
Then you can export the message to a file and read it afterwards:
PINE
When viewing the message in question, use the “E” command to export
the message to a text file. This file will contain the full raw
message source, starting with the full headers.

Unfortunately this only shows the message headers, not the full, raw email. I ended out using some Python tools to simply write the message out to a file. I could have also used Python'smboxlibrary to extract it from my mailbox but if there's a way to view this within Alpine, I haven't seen it yet :-

In my case I am running Alpine 2.21. If I press "h", I get both full headers and raw email content (often encoded in one way or another). I updated my answer to visualize this. And if I export msg while full headers are on, it stays the same as the mbox-file in which it it saved (except for the first line, non-significant).

A simple way to do this, which assumes you save your mail in mbox format, is just save the message to a different folder with no other messages. Then, the file which corresponds to that folder in ~/Mail will contain essentially that message. It will also contain Pine/Alpines "placeholder" message:
This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is
not a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system
software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will
be re-created with the data reset to initial values.
but that is easy to remove.

IIRC, you can press "h" and have it switched (forth and back).
This confirms it: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/help/faq?faqid=1080#pine
- In Alpine, open the message for viewing.
Type h so as to switch on viewing of full headers.
If you only wanted to view the full headers, you need not read further, but if you want to forward a copy of the headers, continue as
shown below.
Type f to forward the message.
- Pine may ask you if you want to forward the message as an
attachment; answer No to this.
- Enter the forwarding address and any notes of your own above the
forwarded text.
- Enter CTRL-X (hold down CTRL and type x) to send the message.
Then you can export the message to a file and read it afterwards:
PINE
When viewing the message in question, use the “E” command to export
the message to a text file. This file will contain the full raw
message source, starting with the full headers.

Unfortunately this only shows the message headers, not the full, raw email. I ended out using some Python tools to simply write the message out to a file. I could have also used Python'smboxlibrary to extract it from my mailbox but if there's a way to view this within Alpine, I haven't seen it yet :-

In my case I am running Alpine 2.21. If I press "h", I get both full headers and raw email content (often encoded in one way or another). I updated my answer to visualize this. And if I export msg while full headers are on, it stays the same as the mbox-file in which it it saved (except for the first line, non-significant).

I'm not completely clear what you are trying to do. One simple way to do this is just save the message to a different folder, and then that message will basically be that file. Can you say more explicitly what you are trying to accomplish?

@FaheemMitha - I just added an example of what I'm looking to see.

Ok,this is essentially what you get if you do what I suggested above. Though you get an extra "This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder," bit on top. However, I still don't understand why you are trying o do this.
