That! convert_uuencode() doesn't produce the file header/footer, and as such convert_uudecode() doesn't expect these. Actually, both functions only handle a single data line. The rest is up to the developer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-04-28 14:27:44] christian at rishoj dot net It seems to be Uuencoding header that trips the function up.
