AFAIK Mail_MIME already has this functionality.

Actually, Mail::Mail_MIME only supports decoding of uuencoded mime parts. It would be useful to add uu encoding to Mail::Mail_mimePart.

You surely meant adding it to Mail_MIME, didn't you?

Yes

Seems a better solution to me, since removing decoding from Mail_Mime is out of discussion ... and adding encoding the functionality would be "complete". sn

After looking closer to the source, I see that Mail_MIME does not support uu decoding on MIME parts level, it just provides a method taking a string and extracting files from it. Would not it be better to implement uu decoding like it is done with base64 and quoted-printable ? This would require figuring out a way to return file permissions included in uu data. -- Andrey Demenev aka Blindman
