I have discovered a freeware decoder which seems to work well. 

Quote from readme:


   UUDeview for Windows is a powerful package to decode files that you
   have received via email or from a newsgroup. It supports decoding of
   uuencoded, Base64, BinHex and xxencoded data.

   You do not need to edit input files prior to decoding. All you have 
to
   do is to save the emails or newsgroups from your mail or news reader
   into a file, and then fire up UUDeview. It will first scan all files,
   sorting parts where necessary, and then present you with a list of
   decodeable files.

   You can also use the program to encode files into a uuencoded or
   Base64-encoded text file in order to send it away by email.


   For more information, and to see if new versions are available, check
   the UUDeview homepage on the WWW at:

        http://www.uni-frankfurt.de/~fp/uudeview/
