So my solution is: On my system (FreeBSD 4.5-p6) 'uudecode -c' extracts all parts instead of only the first. I usually don't pass a filename as an argument since a) there may be multiple files and b) why not use the name given. I don't have 'uudeview' but if it supports extracting everything to a specific folder using the original filenames, you can just save your news articles to a dedicated directory at once (tag the messages and save them). Vvv.nntp (the nntp patch I use) saves them to a mbox folder and I simply run 'uudecode -c /path/to/file' to extract everything at once.
