Hello:

Do you folks think that an "average and typical" Windows
user who uses Outlook or Outlook Express know how to deal
with a UUENCODED attachment?  Using  a "standard" Windows
installation, would the user be able to automagically decode
and open a UUENCODED attachment in the same manner as a
MIME encoded attachment?  Does Windows do something weird
with the attachment so as to make the user see an icon to
click on instead of simply inserted text?  Of course any
experienced Windows user would know how to deal with it in
any case.  My question concerns whether an "average and
typical" user would know what to do in order to decode and
open a UUENCODED attachment.  Does a standard Windows
installation include a program for dealing with UUENCODED
attachments?
