I use Linux and read all my mail using the VM package that runs in GNU
Emacs. I can unpack MIME messages and uudecode stuff. I don't have a
binhex utility, and I can't use a binhex utility that runs under
Windows.
If you're going to use MIME attachements, at least use the standard
base64 encoding, or uuencode as a second choice. No other formats are
either standard or widely available on different machines.
