I've installed version 0.4.15 of uudeview and uuenview in outland for
all platforms (dec, sun, hp, linux, netbsd, and sgi). UUDeview deals
pretty well with exploding and decoding MIME messages (including
multipart messages) containing uuencoded and base64 contents.
Here's the README:

UUDEVIEW FOR UNIX
Version 0.4.15
UUDeview is now maturing towards a full-grown distribution package.
Its ultimate goal is to fully replace the "standard", but dumb
uudecode and uuencode utilities.
Introduction
If you're into emailing and reading news, you have already learned how
difficult it is to distribute or receive binary files by this means.
You will have noticed that you must frequently edit files before
decoding them, and make sure they're in the right order. Here's a tool
to free you of these permanent bothers. The package features a smart
decoder, UUDeview, which allows for comfortable decoding of about
anything you feed into it. It reads in a bunch of files, sorts the
individual postings or emails and lets you choose which files to
decode. You will also find the equally helpful UUEnview, which not
only encodes binaries for sending, but automatically sends them, too.
Both programs support the three encoding methods uuencoding,
xxencoding and Base64 (from the MIME standard). When encoding, you can
choose the method with a command-line option, and the decoder
auto-detects all of them.
