This little utility is used for translating binary files into ASCII
text which can be sent in a normal message.
When the receiver gets the message, he/she can decode the message with
this utility and have exactly the same binary file on his/her system.
In other words: this can be used for transfering files through
different networks, without you have to worry about file attaches etc.
Please read the rules for your network and find out if this is
permitted before sending files. Small files between 5-10k are usually
not something anyone will ever complain about as long as you don't send
100 messages every day.
The syntax is easy:
T-CODE E TMAIL.BBS Will encode TMAIL.BBS into TMAIL.UUE
T-CODE D TMAIL.UUE will decode TMAIL.UUE back to TMAIL.BBS.
Some good advice: If you get a message that contains UUENCODED data,
first export the message from TMAIL, then decode it. If the data is
contained in several messages, this is normally done because of the
maximum message size allowed within the network. Export all messages,
edit the file and remove all headers and other garbage that does not
belong to the data. Never send single messages that are above 32k.
Normally I would advise 16k if it has to be routed through other
networks, otherwise you risk that some systems will route your message.
If you send a UU-encoded file in a conference, make sure that the
moderator allows this before doing it.
Example:
- Message 1 (Last lines) -
