The reason I created this was simple.

Sometimes when your surfing news groups, you may wish to use Netscape communicator or a similar program fro reading newsgroups. Instead of downloading binary attachment one by one, you can easily select ALL messages and save the messages to a UUE file.

When doing this you will notice that Winzip and other UUE Decoding programs throws a fit at you.

It is caused by the header segment included by the news reader to each and every message and it will cause a malformed syntax in the UUE file you are trying to decode.

To remedy this problem I wrote this little application, which removes all non-essential file parts from the file and simply retains the true UUE portion of the source.

This will simply ease your work with UUE files that otherwise would not allow extraction of anything form them.

Please note however that this application will only work for attachments that are in single piece. It will not sort and organize multi-message attachments as threads  and so on.

Sincerely,
MRJ.
