I suspect if recipients can't even manage uudecode, there's no way they'll have
MIME.  Hell, *I* don't even have MIME and I have 90% of a clue.

Don't suppose you know where I can pick up MIME support for a text-only
386bsd system with no sound, do you?  (or indeed if it's even worth
bothering about..)
