File Encoding Styles

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi,
I am downloading a GIF file(as a mail attachement) with this file
format, Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64;

Now I am writing the downloaded data to a file with this technique:

streamWriter = new StreamWriter(@startupPath+"\\"+filename, false);
streamWriter.WriteLine(data);

I am not specifying any file Encoding. When I try to open the file
just created with Microsoft Photo Editor, the following error is
given: "Can't determine type.";

I have tried this technique with different file formats, but it worked
only for text-files.

Can someone give some help on how to solve this problem.
Thanks in Advance
