Hi,

Some mailers insert blank lines into a uuencoded files,
so that they look like the following:

MUNH]N<SL0?6K\ZOQ0@+_6[_#!:<D&J7J5/9OOJ_U&:]QB_O5IF-J]F7P'V[A
MJM8C^QZ$WW?V0CK=N@O!TN5YES/]=<F)`W8<6JA-#8@!CJBQR!SPW)SD4%^^

M6I&`;=Q9PN<0UA_WUOFL:/&1'2SHD]<[Q8M[9=E@]2;BEXL`ZLF..VE_:<SU

M>Q%N=(S6<^D>;A61,@>LK#35S\O>01`(%`F'N+^Z#A\$*4?VI5$UX^$U$_9!

M0;OE<\(J;F#0L:V$L?WH^EB49=>L7@>6'_:7&-]*(K"LTE;@H^\8&:?%=MT5
MR`SB;]7;_3$=UG'ZBP0V=_X@IPW.'U]Q*83/0:-B^+DNP-QL0QZ5F<\#3H[P

Gnus incorrectly uudecodes such articles because of these blank lines.
Would it be possible to skip blank lines (not beginning with /^M/
regexp) before uudecoding? This will help a lot, especially when
decoding files splitted in several messages.

With best regards,
                   Vladimir.
