<div> I've used a Mac's mail client, Outlook, basically any free web mail (yahoo, etc)</div>
<div> and never had a problem with uuencode "attaching" whatever file I have sent.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Granted I haven't sent anything crazy - I've sent txt, csv, dbf, xls, doc, jpg, wmv</div>
<div> All have never had an issue with anything I've used....</div>
<div> But, I guess YMMV depending on your setup....uuencode has always worked</div>
<div> well for me for years and it's easy to script with on Unix.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> I'm sure as others have pointed out, there are probably limitations of using</div>
<div> uuencode depending on your mail client, I just haven't ever encountered any.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Good luck</div>
