(Unicode C++) MIME -- Convert Base64 to Binary

Loads MIME containing a base64 body and converts it to binary. This changes the Content-Transfer-Encoding header to "binary", and the body is stored as raw unencoded bytes.

The MIME file initially loaded in this example contains:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="starfish20.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="starfish20.jpg"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

After converting, the binary MIME looks like the following. (Note: Loading it into a text editor and saving it will corrupt the binary data by dropping bytes. Non-text binary data CANNOT be handled as if it were text without corruption.)
