Fortunately MS Exchange allows one to turn off the encoded attachments. I
think cc:Mail does also, but I see proportionately more of them than I see
from MS Exchange users. An interesting thing is that when folks attach
multiple files to cc:Mail, it breaks things up into multiple uuencoded
attachments, but appends everything together before uuencoding, which
causes the breaks to not be between attachments!
