Ok, I assume that you work at UNIX, otherwise contact me (personally)
by e-mail address vad...@cs.huji.ac.il.
So, first, you must save the pictures to a file.  If the picture is in
more than one article, save them to many files and merge them,
deleting all the headers and stuff.

After that, you must uudecode them, something like: "uudecode
picture.uu".

Now, you can view these pictures by xv, or whatever.

: Erm, the same applies for me, really.

You both are welcome.

All the best,
