Scott,
Uuencode is a text armoring mechanism... It's how pictures, docs, and programs are sent through email. I just uuencoded the gpg data string. The better way is to use armor directly - it saves a step. Uuencode can convert ANY binary to text than can be stored in a text field. Note the it is an encoding and not an encryption algorithm.

How does uuencoding work, compared with GnuPG encoding?
