- This little utility is used for translating binary files into ASCII
- text which can be sent in a normal message.
- When the receiver gets the message, he/she can decode the message with
- this utility and have exactly the same binary file on his/her system.
-
- In other words: this can be used for transfering files through
- different networks, without you have to worry about file attaches etc.
-
- Please read the rules for your network and find out if this is
- permitted before sending files. Small files between 5-10k are usually
- not something anyone will ever complain about as long as you don't send
- 100 messages every day.
-
- The syntax is easy:
-
- T-CODE E TMAIL.BBS Will encode TMAIL.BBS into TMAIL.UUE
- T-CODE D TMAIL.UUE will decode TMAIL.UUE back to TMAIL.BBS.
-
- Some good advice: If you get a message that contains UUENCODED data,
- first export the message from TMAIL, then decode it. If the data is
- contained in several messages, this is normally done because of the
- maximum message size allowed within the network. Export all messages,
- edit the file and remove all headers and other garbage that does not
- belong to the data. Never send single messages that are above 32k.
- Normally I would advise 16k if it has to be routed through other
- networks, otherwise you risk that some systems will route your message.
- If you send a UU-encoded file in a conference, make sure that the
- moderator allows this before doing it.

- Example:
-
- - Message 1 (Last lines) -
