Clarence:

You can't UUDECODE one of his oversized attachments, the one having 56,349
bytes.  You can't UUDECODE it because it is BASE64 encoded.  Take a look
at it with a file viewer and see for yourself.  In order to decode it you
will need MIME64.EXE, or a similar program.  You want to get it?  Then
you just ask for it, and I'll sock it to you.  MIME64.EXE, 23,436 bytes.
