I (Andre) don't mind hitting ":r! uuencode file file", as I'm using vim anyway. You (Sven) could have pointed out that UUencoding is mentioned nowhere in the documentation, at least to my best knowledge it is not. Maybe it shouldn't necessarily have been mentioned, but on the other hand it is not there. So what's wrong with asking? In the meantime I think I've narrowed down the problem to the MIME settings on my PDA, though I haven't found a solution yet. Not a mutt topic though. -Andre
