Hi Alex,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you about this. The
problem is that the message you sent has a Transfer-Enoding of
x-uuencode, which the nmh command line tools seem to not have any
support for. I don't think it's especially feasable for us to add
support for it as a local mod to nmh.
I did discover that exmh does support this, as an extension of
mh functionality, and metamail seems capable of decoding them as well,
so you may want to consider these tools if you receive mail like this
frequently (it's a pretty uncommon encoding others, as far as I know).
Garry
