Ouch -- uuencoding is a fairly standard encoding method.

Yes, Declude caught it without any problems, if used with a virus scanner
that could detect it.  And Declude can be set up to ban .com attachments if
you want (and ONLY com attachments -- it won't block E-mails with ".com"
somewhere in it, unless it's as a file name).

Also, the new Declude Virus Pro (just about to go into beta) would have
caught it as a "Hidden EXE file".
