Last time I used uudecode, this would cause you to lose all your emails!
uudecode happily takes input on stdin, but it won't put anything on
stdout that resembles a mail. But 'filter app' (new label: 'pipe
through') expects the modified message on stdout. The only way to
automatically filter out uuencoded stuff is to make the somthing like
the following script and use that as "filter app" (untested!):
#!/bin/bash
export DL_DIR=~/tmp
TMPFILE=$(mktemp -q $DL_DIR/uu-download.XXXXXX) || exit 1
if tee "$TMPFILE.uuencoded"; then
if uudecode -o $TMPFILE $TMPFILE.uuencoded; then
rm -f $TMPFILE.uuencoded
exit 0
fi
fi
rm -f $TMPFILE $TMPFILE.uuencoded
exit 1
