Are Crypt?



Not encrypted. Encoded. Base64.


how I can make?



There is an important detail which you are missing from your above
extract: is there a matching content separator at the bottom of it?
E.g. if this .dat file represents only a piece of an E-mail it's possible
that the rest of the image never arrived. In that case I think that both
IE and OE would represent the image by a Red-X.

BTW it may help if you told us how you got this .dat file.
Usually it is the sender who receives .dat files like that
with non-deliverable E-mail. Does it look like it could be
part of something you sent? If not, I suppose it could
also be something that somebody else tried to send to you
which was truncated and then enveloped in the same way
to signal that its transmission wasn't complete.
