A lot can be said to add the UUEncode/decode functions to the Mail_MIME, since its usage seems to compliment it. However, UUEncoding is almost always used in Text-only emails, as it provides a way to encode attachments inline, as it is. The big difference with Mail_MIME is that MIME is used to seperate a mail into different pieces, Text/html, text/plain, and attachments encoded with different types of encodings. UUEncoding can also be done on simple files to store them as ASCII-only files.... Still, all in all, I think that Mail_MIME would be the best place to place these functions as they are now. Cipri
