|Symptoms:
|  Trying to uudeview/xdeview a Mozilla Newsgroupfile like 'Drafts'
|  No matter what combination of options I use, it hangs up with the first
|message/content in hte file and does not load any further. Decoding is 
|impossible.
|
|Any ideas ?? A bug in uudecode 0.5.20 ??
|
|I deinstalled and installed the old version uudeview 0.5.18-125. It 
|works as it used to without any problems.

Yes it's a bug. It can be worked around by removing the mail headers
before uudeviewing (though that might be difficult to do from Mozilla).
I'd report it to the author. Maybe it's some interaction with the UTF-8
change in 9.1.
