Notepad++ is my favorite free text editor that I use daily. The current latest version is 5.1 and it supports various languages. It is currently available in the Windows platform and it is licensed under GPL.
I would like to introduce one useful plugin comes with Notepad++ is MIME Tools. This is a very useful plugin for me to perform troubleshooting on SMTP AUTH using telnet because we need to enter the full email address and the password encoded in Base64. Let’s do a simple test.
Run the Notepad++. Open a new normal text file. Key in “password” and highlight it in the text file as below.
Next, go to Plugins menu, then MIME Tools and select Base64 Encode as below.
And, you get the output of the Base64 Encode as below.
To reverse the encoded Base64, we need to decode it by going to Plugins menu, then MIME Tools and select Base64 Decode as below.
Is that simple? Give it a try and you will begin to love Notepad++ inside out.
