% It works. Thanks. But one question. Why mutt doesn't recognise it as a
% regular attachement?

Because it's not attached per se, with a MIME header structure and a
proper Content-Type: and so on.  uuencoding is how computers used to
send binary data back and forth, particularly through email (though also
commonly through news), and all of this automatic viewing and decoding
stuff hadn't yet been invented :-)

David Champion's suggestion about playing with the headers is probably
the best way to go about making these "attachments" appear automatically,
other than finding whoever uses LookOut! and LARTing him :-)
