Uudeview does not recognize that your attached example has a message in it. 
Metamail handles it correctly. 

What you want is to decode all message parts and then concanate them in a single file. Maybe creating a \
script or a long shell command can help : create a temp dir, ask metamail to decode all message parts \
there and then cat'ing the saved parts (ls -r | xargs cat > file)

export METAMAIL_TMPDIR=`mktemp -d patches.XXXXXX `;metamail -d -w -q -B %f && find $METAMAIL_TMPDIR -type \
f ! -name 'mm*' |xargs cat > %u && rm -rf $METAMAIL_TMPDIR

(you will be asked for a destination file name (the %u token). You can use the tilde or $HOME)

In fact, maybe I'll implement a %P token that represents the list of all message parts ('mv %P %u' will \
save all message parts in a given directory, and "cat %P > %u" will cat all message parts into a given \
file...
