Folks might like to consider using mpack instead of uu{en,de}code so the
resultant message or file is in MIME format. I believe this is supposed to be
readable by the standard tools used on the black side. Somebody will correct
me if I'm wrong I'm sure.
Quoting the start of the man page:-
NAME
mpack - pack a file in MIME format
