The point is that the standard is Mime, and having plain uu encoded sections
between the text is no standard. Ok, that was not the question ;-)

Should be possible to write one.

Something like a (perl?) script that searches for the occurance of a
"begin 644" (or whatever), then uudecodes the attachment and Base64 encodes
it, and changes it to proper Mime format.

Yes, would be possible, but a bit tricky to build :-)

IMO you can make a simple script that does all the fancy signature stuff
that your heart delights. Shell scripts are very flexible in this aspect :-)

Kind regards,
