- I hate to say this, Ned, but unless you lot have fixed it in recent
- times, PMDF's uucp support also strips blanks... <blush>

- did blank stripping as well.)

- Note that blank stripping is a pain, as it tends to break many uuencode/
- uudecode implementations. Ideally, uuencode should encode the 0 sixbit
- as a back-quote rather than a space.
