So it is a bug in Eudora?

Cool, I can't wait.

Yeah, I know - it just kinda sucks because uudecode tries to write over
itself half the time - Eudora doesn't rename the uuencoded file.  I get
emails from this lady maybe once every couple of weeks and every time I
open the word document, get crap.  Save the file to disk, uudecode it
and write over it, corrupting the file.  Then I save it again to a
different name and then uudecode it.  Its not a big deal, its just that
I'm incompetent.

Thanks,
Mark
