Yes, changing the extension to uue makes Winzip think it is one big
archive. Winzip lists each e-mail as a text file (0001.txt, 0002.txt,
etc.) and each attachment is also listed as a separate file. Just
select the file you want and extract it.

You're most welcome. It's something I stumbled over a long time ago,
and occasionally comes in handy. (Sorry for the lousy grammar, BTW.)
