How to read text field containing calendar entry

When I view an email with a text editor, I see a text field that looks like the following, which appears to be a calendar entry attachment. How can I decode this? Is there some kind of simple utility? I prefer not to use Outlook or Google Mail or any kind of large and complicated application like that. I view all my emails in text mode. Thanks.

I figured it out. You can decode a base64 field using an online decoder such as:

https://www.base64decode.org/

When I decode the original attachment I get something like:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
METHOD:REQUEST
PRODID:Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:pacific Standard Time
BEGIN:STANDARD
DTSTART:16010101T020000
(snip)

Hope this is helpful to someone else.
