How do I open mime attachments from external apps from iPhone 5S iOS 7 mail? Which apps would be the most efficient to use?

Forward the message to yourself INCLUDING the attachment. It works for me.
Here is a (fairly brutal) Apple Shortcut that can open a MIME attachment in Apple Mail in iOS 14. If you don’t trust the shortcut link and would like to build it yourself, I’ve included a screenshot of the steps. Note that the Previewing
step must be changed to File as Text
(tap on File
there to do this).

What are the two Documents steps for, can't you just use Previewing to show the input directly?– nohillside ♦Nov 3, 2020 at 11:35

I did try that approach but couldn't make it work, even with
File as Text
. The two steps create a temporary text file. There's a third document step at the end which deletes it. Would be great if you know of a simpler way that works! Nov 4, 2020 at 13:08
