I receive file attachments that are UUEncoded in Outlook 2003.
However, they are not decoded by Outlook; i.e. the body of the message
is the typical:


Begin 600 filename.ext
Mfoofoofoofoofoofoofoo
Mbarbarbarbar
Mtictictictictictictic
Mtactactactactactactac
etc.


My search for this has turned up a plethora of articles on how to send
attachments using UUEncoding. *However, with receiving these, not so
much.


What version of Windows are you using? *What type of mail account?

- XP SP2
- All accounts are POP/SMTP
- Outlook 2003 SP3
- This didn't just start happening. I just started receiving
UUEncoded attachments. It's a report from one of my company's
servers. I think it is a mainframe or UNIX server (ergo the
UUEncoding). The other folks receiving the same report have no
problems; the attachment comes through as an Excel spreadsheet, as it
should.
