I have an immediate, serious problem caused by my own stupidity.
I emailed a StarOffice file to myself to back it up before screwing
with a Mandrake upgrade, knowing that I ran a significant risk of wiping
out my /home partition, which I did.
But I got my own email address wrong and the message bounced --
apparantly as ASCII. Any ideas on how to resurrect this file? It's kind
of important stuff. (Book chapter on deadline.)
Sample below; this is a huge .sdw file including graphics, etc. I can
send the whole file (off list) to anyone who wants to take a whack at
it. The obvious idea -- saving the gibberish as a text file with an .sdw
extension and opening it in StarOffice or OpenOffice -- didn't work.
