Yes, me too. But his problem is with filenames, not the contents. uu... 
were designed to email files converted into 7 bits text inserted into the 
mail body. The filename was not enconded in the conversion, it was just 
part of the conversion. The receiver end can use any name, I think:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> uuencode hola hola.uue
begin 644 hola.uue
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@;'5G87(@9&4@;&$@;6%N8VAA+"!D92!C=7EO(&YO;6)R92!N;R!Q
...

2>2!G86QG;R!C;W)R961O<BX*
`
end



That would not solve his filename problem, I'm afraid.

Further, it does not compress, rather the contrary. There is a sucessor to 
uuencode utilities, but I don't remember the name now.
