  Hello Inna,

  First, try attachment["body"].ToString() and if it returns a string object... if not, cast is to byte[]: (byte[])attachment["body"] . Here are some helpful methods for conversion from byte[] to string and viceversa:

  static byte[] GetBytes(string str)
  {
      byte[] bytes = new byte[str.Length * sizeof(char)];
      System.Buffer.BlockCopy(str.ToCharArray(), 0, bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
      return bytes;
  }
  
  static string GetString(byte[] bytes)
  {
      char[] chars = new char[bytes.Length / sizeof(char)];
      System.Buffer.BlockCopy(bytes, 0, chars, 0, bytes.Length);
      return new string(chars);
  }

  After you get the desired string you can simply create a new Email entity and set email["body"] attribute to the output string from the attachment.

  Hello Inna,

  Recheck following code:

  string result = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String((string)attachment["body"]));
