Since you provided no details, a generic answer will have to
suffice: Assuming the audio is an attachment, most email
software has an option to "Save As.." any attachment(s).

Try right-clicking on the icon (if you have one).

If the audio file is "attached" you can "save as" or "detach" (it is
the same operation, but different email programs have different names
for it).

You should be aware that there are some bad guys out there cooking up
files that, on the surface, look like audio or pictures, but are
actually system damaging programs. If you were not expecting the file
to be sent from a trusted friend, be sure to investigate the origin of
the file before attempting to play it. The "expecting" is extremely
important because a friend's system could have been captured and
enlisted a zombie army that pumps out bad files attempting to enlist
all of your friend's friends. Contact your friend and ask if he or she
intended to send you that file.

Thanks for the quick answer.

And sorry I didn't give enough details.

The audio is not attached. Someway it is embedded into the email. When
I open the details of the email, it has the audio identified like
this:

Content-Type: audio/wav;
name="lol.wav"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <005401c51c4f$27148ee0$6400a8c0@frank75computer>

This digital code goes on and one for several pages.

Thanks again for your help.

That's MIME encoding. If you're on a Unix box using elm or pine, save
the file, then go to the shell prompt and use "munpack <filename>" and
it will extract the .wav file from the mime body.

Copy anything from this line (Ukl...), paste it into notepad (or your
favorite text editor), save it and decode it with a Base64-decoder.

If I were you, I would send an email to the person who sent the file
and a) ask them if they really sent it; b) ask for a re-send.

If you get other attachments properly, then the message in question
is either damaged in transmission, or it is malware of some kind.
Either way I would delete it ASAP and *NOT* attempt to extract
anything from it.
