Yup, they are that big. As a matter of fact, they're a lot bigger. 
Uuencoded file get chunked into 1500 line parts. Some people have
requested that we make chunks about 750 lines (approx 50k). I'm not
sure what the trade off is, in terms of system resources, for sending
fewer large messages verses more small messages. 

At any rate, it appears that we need to get a new uuencoder (epecially
if we send smaller chunks). The one I'm using now only handles about
30 parts before breaking. Where can I get one that handles >30 parts
more gracefully? (this is for a un*x box)
