My uudecode is out of date, and I have trouble compiling a new one.
As I plan to upgrade to Debian 3.0 in the near future, I didn't
bother.
andre@mir:~$ uudecode -v   =20
uudecode - GNU sharutils 4.2.1
andre@mir:~$ uudecode --help
Usage: uudecode [FILE]...
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory to short options too.
  -h, --help               display this help and exit
  -v, --version            output version information and exit
  -o, --output-file=3DFILE   direct output to FILE

It doesn't keep the original filename, and the images have their
original names. Which is potentially problematic only if I want to
keep the images of message A, don't put them in my ~/Images folder,
and there are images with the same name in message B. Hmm. There is a
flag in uudeview that force overwriting existing file, "-o".=20

That seems to be possible here too, using tagging. Given it would be
possible to pipe tagged messages into one file(?). The solution I
have now is so far "good enough" for me, but I might try this out
later.

I appreciate it!

A nice weekend to everyone!
