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