Your Mac software is a little too smart for its own good. Uuencode format
has the unfortunate property that records can include trailing blanks.
Evidently your software thinks it is doing you a favor by stripping them.
Real Kermit software does not do this. Whatever its other faults, Mac Kermit
will leave trailing blanks alone.
