It's nice to see a uuencode email attachment once again!

I was worried a MIME attachment might not get passe= d through the automation, so I stayed with tried and true methods.= =C2=A0

Clem (who, by the way, is correct about the origin of fmt, it was part of Kurt Shoens' Mail program at Berkeley) has perfect timing= . This coming Monday, 6/1/2020, is the 40th anniversary of the uuencode email attachment. (The date is based on the date in the uuencode man page in the 2.8BSD and 4.2BSD archives at https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/UCB/ )

I could not have told you date, but I do remember when y= ou sent it ber and myself, specifically.

Any thoughts on a proper commemoration of the 40th anniversary?

Can't say I know the proper way to do that, = other than to say thank you and acknowledge the hack as a darned creative s= olution to an issue a lot of us had.
