Why is OE6 using it? Jeez, I haven't seen uuencode for so long that I didn't recognise it as such... > except Outlook has still support for it.

Really, see: > http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q265230 OMG! WORKAROUND To workaround this problem: * Do not start messages with the word "begin" followed by two * spaces. * Use only one space between the word "begin" and the following * data. * Capitalize the word "begin" so that it is reads "Begin." * Use a different word such as "start" or "commence."
