The golden rule of the internet: "Be liberal in what you accept, be=20
conservative in what you create." There's no way to send an attachment=20
uuencoded with KMail except when using some kind of forwarding. We just=20
decode it. And even that only when it's in proper MIME format, not when=20
inlined, though that should be easy to do now and probably should be=20
done.
