This is a gray area. This is a badly formed mail. There are no MIME headers. We can't blame TB! for that.

Behaviour depends on the MUA of choice. These are the tests I did.

Platform	Program	Result
Windows	emClient	Shows uuencode data
Windows	TB! 5.x	Shows uuencode data
Windows	Windows Live Mail	Shows image correctly
Linux	Evolution	Shows image badly
Webmail	sqwebmail	Shows uuencode data

Definitely not a show stopper.
