In addition to the differene in algorithms, MIME supports structured
messages with headers and metadata for each message component,
identifiers for message components and the ability to reference one
component from another. messages can be, and often are hierarchically
structured and include various kinds of content. On the other hand,
uuencode simply allows you to attach data to a document (not to suggest
that this was a small innovationm by any means!) My point of view is
that uuencode is long obsolete, and MIME/base64 should be used instead.
