Mail messages created by
matts are Mime 1.0 compliant, meaning that other mail clients, e.g. gmail or Yahoo mail or alpine, will recognize the attachments and will offer a simple way to download or retrieve such an attachment.
A script which only uses uuencode requires a lot of manual intervention by the user to convert the uuencoded mail message into a file.
