 It looks from skimming the relevant parts of the source code like
uudecode is only used for mime attachments that say they are uuencoded.
I don't see any reason to decode other uuencoded text. The uuencoded file
I recently sent (not as an attachment) wouldn't look very good if it were
decoded into a gzip'd tar file.
