Great if you only decode ST postings which were encoded with UUE.
My version of UUD works with PC postings also. In addition, I can
decode all of the encoded files in a directory with one command -- it
finishes one and goes on to the next. It even skips files with no
encoded material (often part 0 of a posting is like this).
