I just did this to see what it would do and it seems to have worked so here it is. if you use oe, open tools, open options, navigate to send, tab to the plain text settings button, activate it and the first control you will land on is message format, arrow down to uuencode and back out propperly and the next message you send should be fine for non windows mailers and others. Hope this helps and I'm glad I discovered it.
